Nina and I picked Jaelene and Austin up from the hospital this morning. While we were waiting for the hospital to get everything done so Jaelene could be released, I used my new cell phone to take a picture. He’s not even two days old and is already featured on the Internet! This is quite an age that we live in.

As we were driving here from Colorado Springs, we spent some time talking about how much technology has changed our lives, particularly in ways that we completely take for granted. DVD movies, microwave ovens, Internet, MP3 players, wireless devices, phones with cameras in them…. The list got quite lengthy as we were discussing the subject. About a century ago, people’s lives were defined by how far they could ride a horse or walk. Today we can be in any part of the world in less than a day. Then trying to visualize what technology will be available even 50 years from now is very difficult! Our grandchildren will be taking things for granted that we will find simply amazing. I’d like to be around then! Have a great life, Austin!
