And it's amazing what four and five year old kids know! As you, I see it as my job, so I need to stay as current as I can. :)Melanie N.

I'm up on somethings but tend to be a dinosaur on others. For example, we're recent to having cell phones.<br /><br />Here's what scares me about technology. What happens if something happens to the power grid and we lose all access to the internet or things like that? I think Terri Blackstock has a series about that possibility. I mean, how many of us can survive without a microwave? We've made some gains, but we may not be aware of what we've lost to make those gains.<br /><br />Okay, I'll get off my soapbox!<br /><br />JeffJeffrey C.

And regarding ditch-digging, my husband and I just had a conversation about how, even though they know use plastic tubing, it is still called a "tile".Nikki Studebaker Barcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661375032806687908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-84147190929603046702012-02-18T13:00:25.914-05:002012-02-18T13:00:25.914-05:00I, too, learned to type (not keyboard) on an IBM S...I, too, learned to type (not keyboard) on an IBM Selectric typewriter in high school. It is by far the handiest class I ever took, because I use that skill every day. My early article submission went out by snail mail with a SASE, and that's how all writers submitted in those days. <br /><br />If I had refused to go with the flow and still cranked out articles on the IBM typewriter and submitted by mail, the majority of editors wouldn't take me seriously these days. In most professions (with the possible exception of ditch-digging), there comes a time when you must upgrade yourself to match the current way of doing things. Refusing to do so can render yourself an irrelevant relic of the past. We may not enjoy the constantly changing learning curve, if we want to write for publication, then that is part of the price to pay.Rick Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795635112065282277noreply@blogger.com
