Dangerous Wonder

Now before those of you older then me reading this blog dismiss this as the ramblings of a lunatic, hear me out. My sister spent some time with us this last weekend before she headed back to college. I was amazed at how much time she spent on IM, My Space, Facebook, etc. Most of the people she was talking to were people she goes to school with. I totally understand the need to keep in touch with friends, but when I was in college (don't I sound old) we had nothing like that. We didn't have access to the internet in the dorms or computer labs to use until I was a junior. Nobody had a laptop with wireless except maybe for a few uber-rich kids. Most of us just had word processors to type papers on. I'm pretty sure today's college students don't even know what one of those is. By the way I was in college only 9 years ago. It's not like it's been a generation or so, but when it comes to technology 9 years might as well be 90. I told my husband that there is nothing like technology to age you. Wow! I don't even want to think about what things will be like when Dean is in college. sigh!
