Oh Technology...

I am not a huge fan of technology. I like all of the stuff that makes life easier like a dishwasher, washer and dryer, etc. But really...who needs a camera, cell phone, and the internet all in one? It makes me nervous how connected the world is. My boss makes fun of me for having an old flip phone. I have no ambitions beyond that. As long as I can receive phone calls and texts I am a happy camper. Needless to say I have NOT wanted a Kindle. You just can't replace books with a computer screen. Or so I thought...when I got home last night I discovered that my Dad had bought my Mom a Kindle for Mother's Day. My Mom and I share the same opinion that you should be able to hold a book in your hands (and underline it). This is my Dad's new family experiment. He wants us all to try it out this summer. So my job is to find a book (yay) and read it on the Kindle. The jury is still out on whether or not I am going to embrace the book killing technology, but I will say that having THOUSANDS of books at your fingertips is kind of exciting....
