When telling stories about high school and college years she asks things along the lines of "Why didn't you just e-mail them?" Uhhh, because e-mail hardly existed back then, because we didn't have cell phones. Growing up my family had a black rotary dial phone and a tiny black and white TV for untill around the time I was about 12 years old. I'm not even forty years old! One time I asked my grandparents, who grew up without electricity, indoor plumbing, or central heat if they thought that the world would be, when I was became thier age, as different to me from the one I grew up in as their world is to them when compared to their childhood. You could see them both give a little jerk at the thought and they got strangely creepy knowing smiles and said "yes, yes it will be." I found it a bit unsettling, they memory will hopefully help me keep in touch with changes in technology. I think the internet is changing our lives as much as any invention ever has, in ways that we can't even yet comprehend, and it is a technology still in it's infancy. The mobile phone is mostly a just another gate way for the internet to act upon our lives.
