Alyssa is getting pretty sneaky. She can make two phone calls without my phone being unlocked. She has learned to navigate to the ICE list on the emergency dialer in the lock screen. So while I contemplate how to teach her to utilize things like that in an emergency for real, I am
thankful that we have the technology we do. Beyond the complications that it can create for child proofing and safety, it is such an amazing set of resources. We can look up thousands of questions that our toddlers demand answers to. We can have endless entertainment options available at our fingertips. The most amazing thing to me though is along with the transfer of knowledge, we can transfer virtual lives. Our family and friends who may otherwise not get more than the Christmas card in a year, can keep up with our family including photos, daily rants, chats, and whatever else they may want to know depending on the tech form used. Phones provide a few ways to talk to people quickly. The Internet allows for video calls or photo swapping, and of course blogs share our stories easily. Such a wonderful tool!
Related to tech in the general sense, my e-reader! I absolutely LOVE my e-reader! I am so thankful for e-readers (physical and app forms)! Reading relaxes me and gives me a mental break from daily stresses like trying to leave the house with a toddler and an an infant. I would be so much closer to full blown crazy if it weren't for my e-readers.
