My First Blog. Ever!
It's after midnight ~ most people are already dreaming or snoring (I can hear my husband who's in our room across the hall). Not I. I do my best thinking late at night. Or at least I tell myself that and believe it.
I created this account because I wanted to follow my handsome son's creative blogs. He's literally on the opposite side of the world right now, so we haven't had the chance this past year to really spend valuable time together. It's kinda cool though, how much smaller the world is nowadays. I remember a time not too far back in the past when some of us who are not tooooo old watched Star Trek and the Jetson's and thought that we'd never see their gadgets in our lifetime, but here I am able to talk to someone who is standing upside down on the globe in relation to where I stand, and I'm able to speak to him and see him in his home! The speed at which technology is advancing scares me sometimes. Yet the thought of not having this technology scares me even more.
I don't know a time without television... but my parents do. Many of you don't know a time without the internet.... but I do. I wonder what's in store for the next generation? My grandkids (when I get blessed with some) will probably be neighbours with "aliens" on another planet, while visiting their home planet during their summer vacation, or reading week, or special holidays. Don't think it can't happen... I never thought I'd see a driverless car but THAT'S already here:

Never say never!
I'm going to have to end my note right here, right now. I'm not sure what's happening to this website right now, but there is a lag time between my speedy fingers typing and the letters appearing on the screen. It took many minutes to type these last few sentences! I suppose that might be a message or a sign that we shouldn't always count on technology!!
