My very first 'blog'

Here goes...My very first 'blog.' 

In creating this blog I am in awe of technology.  I can personally remember when we got our first computer.  It had simple games and simple programs.  My sister and I enjoyed watching all the colored lines on the computer when a page printed out.  We watched for about ten minutes as it said, "printing, printing, printing."  Then came the world wide web, email, chat rooms, message boards; the things we can do with computers just change and change. 

I recently got an Ipod touch for a birthday present.  The technology in that is amazing; although I don't use it for music. I can track my weight, look us the nutritional values from any restaurant, track where I parked my car(so I don't have to wander forever), check my email, update my facebook page, play scrabble with my mother who lives in another city, do yoga exercises (or contemplate it), look up Shabbat times all in a hand held little computer that I can carry in my pocket.

This got me thinking of what technology will be like when Ellie and Nate are in High School.  There are already virtual classrooms and amazing things we can do with computers.  I wish I had an eye into the future.

For now I try to limit some of that technology while I still can.
