My kids are growing up in a different world than I did. The advances in technology just in my lifetime are staggering. (and I’m not that old!) There’s actually a term for members of this computer generation. They’re called Digital Natives. My oldest son has loved all things computer since he started playing with his…
I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seats wondering how much I’ve done on my list in one week. No? Well, that’s what I’m blogging about today.
