Several weeks before that, Daddy was issued an ipad from work. Another amazing machine from the folks at Apple. This picture doesn't do it justice. It's basically a larger version of the iphone but without the calling capabilities.
By the time J and M are old enough to read this there will be unimaginable things for them to work and play with and they'll laugh at me for being so excited over something that by then is sure to be today's version of an eight-track tape. But for me, this is innovation at its finest. Just a couple of decades ago the thought of literally having so much access at your fingertips was unimaginable to me.
Needless to say, both D and I have been playing around with our little pieces of technological goodness non-stop. He's downloaded a couple of books ~ even finished one which is quite a fete for him. I've downloaded some applications, also known as apps, and some music.
AK was here the other day and we were comparing smartphones. He has one from another company but many of the apps (I feel so cool when I use the correct terminology) are the same. He intoduced me to one of his favorites: An LED light, sort of like a little flashlight in your phone. It was free so I downloaded it if for no other reason to show J who for some reason or another likes flashlights.
It hasn't even been two weeks and I had real use for it last night. Our power went out while we were upstairs. Both the kids were already asleep but we wanted to make sure we were prepared in case they woke up to pitch darkness and were scared. I found my phone, pressed the button, and WA-LA, there was light.
We went to sleep hAPPy campers after that.
