...My mother was a very practical but proud woman. Back in the early 1990's when "car phones" first made an appearance I remember her saying, "I hope I NEVER think I'm so important that I have to have a phone everywhere I go." Thinking about that kind of gives me the giggles now. She died in 1993 WAY before the mobile phone craze had gone...well...crazy. Today we can choose from phones that do everything but our laundry from phones that are just that phones. Most of our children are connected so we can stay in constant contact with them. Gone are the days of keeping a quarter so we can access the pay phone if we are running late on curfew. Now we just have to make sure our mobile devices have enough charge and if they don't that we have a charger handy just in case. I'm thankful for the technology. It keeps me in contact with my children and my children in contact with me. I still have to wonder which one my mom would have chosen if she had chosen one at all...I think she would have though ;)

Most of us "old fogies" submit to the modern ways - if we can figure them out. I still don't know how to answer my cell phone if it's flipped open and no clue how to take pictures with the thing. Works as a phone....
