Cyber Baby

I am not one for state of the art technology. I have a basic cell phone and only recently started to use texting. I never understood why people waited on line all night to buy the new ipod products when they would be readily available to the public a few days later. More recently, though, I am beginning to appreciate modern technology more. For the past few days, my daughter in law has been sending me pictures of the baby playing on her mat and wearing cute clothes. All she needs to do it snap the photo and email it to me. It takes one minute. Years ago you had to buy the film, load it, take the pictures, unload it, bring it to the store to develop them and hope no one would lose them. It was a week long process and sometimes when we got back the pictures, people's heads were cut off. Now we see the picture in a moment and save it even quicker. When I visit my parents in a few weeks, I promised to Skype with my children so my parents can meet the baby "screen to screen". It is wonderful that they do not have to wait months to see her "in person". I am slowly becoming a cyber grandma.
