The modern world

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:10 am

So I’m sitting in my bedroom in Austin, TX, and my oldest son, Justin, phones me on his cell phone. He’s driving in San Francisco, CA half a continent away and asks me if I’m near the computer. I say hold on, put the phone down, walk over to the game room, sit down at the computer, and pick up another phone. Justin asks if I can look up the address on the internet of a restaurant he’s looking for. I “google” his request, find it immediately and tell him the address and phone number. Sheesh, welcome to the modern world of instant communications with quick access to massive amounts of information – unbelievable!

  1. Thank you so much. I think half the fun was knowing I could ask you, and you’d enjoy the ‘context’ in which I was doing the asking. In any event we went, we ate crab, it was awesome.
