Amazing technology!
Michelle and Masachi are now living in Japan, but they have had trouble getting television reception. So they purchased a Slingbox and had us put it on our TV down stairs. Bruce then gave Michelle a long number to put in her computer. She called us 2 minutes later to say she was watching KSL news on her computer! The reception goes from the cable box on the TV, to our computer to her computer. So now thay can watch TV on their computer. However when we are watching evening news here it is early in the morning there. She wanted to buy a DVR to put on our TV so she could record shows and watch them at better times. Someone at BEST Buy told us she could do that on Media Play on the computer! We enjoy visiting with them using the Web Cam on our computers. It has made it seem that they are not so far away.Cell phones are also amazing. I talk to Melisa most every morning. Communication sure itsn't like it used to be.

Amen to all you said. Back in the day we looked forward to calling my grandma on Christmas & Mother's Day. We lived in Washington & she lived in Utah. I don't know how brainiacs do it, but they keep coming up with better & better methods of technology.
I was told and I must agree, one major change in the way communication works now is a change in the idea that we no longer call a 'place' and hope the person is there, we call a 'person' who could be anywhere with the amount of cell phones roaming the globe. The world is getting smaller and it evolves as we change to move with it.
How great is technology, what would we dowith out our cell phones and computers. Yikes, I don't think i would survive!
Amazing technology is just that!! I wish I were a few years younger so I could understand more about it. It's certainly nice for Kate and Bruce's Family.
