of technology and the family. I would love to quote you (minus names of course)
if you don’t mind. <br>
It provides examples of why connectedness is so positive and natural and not
demonic as the media likes to convey at times.<br>

- I think technology has changed family relationships for the better...<br>
* I now no longer have to scream and yell to the other end
of the house to get my family out of their bedrooms and up to the dinner table
- one simple sms does the trick!<br>
* I can follow my children's antics/photos etc on facebook,
plus comment!!! This has brought me much closer to them and many of their
friends - many of whom have also added me as a friend :-)<br>
*When my daughter has not arrived home at 4am and her phone
is not answering (flat battery??) I just post to her facebook "Where's
Monica" and usually one of her friends will answer it with something like
"We are in the city waiting for a taxi" (they all have facebook and
internet access on their phones!! It's just the batteries that are the
problem!!)<br>
*As a family we can share our photos via the web or MMS<br>
*Putting my mother (who lives in the country) on my mobile
plan (something I did about 6 years ago) now means I talk to her at least once
a week (but usually 3 or 4 times) for as long as we like instead of the hurried
calls we used to have because of the cost of STD calls and her reluctance to
use her phone or allow me to use mine for long distance ("We better hang
up darling this is costing money")<br>
*Both of my children will (strangely) talk much more openly
to me via facebook or MSN chat than what they would face to face - even though
they may just be down the hallway in their bedrooms!!!!<br>
*We can all keep in touch much better (via phone, SMS, MMS
and chat) when travel and holidays keep us physically apart.<br>
<br>
Although I must admit I think the basis of good family relationships goes back
to my first point - dinner together as a family at the table every night with
the TV and all computers and phones OFF!!! Unfortunately nobody told the
telemarketers about this so now we even take the home phone off the hook!!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Interesting
article in The Age that languished as a draft for too long on my PC. An oldie
but still worth passing on. Not such much about computer geeks but it does give
a clue into the mind of what now might motivate our students.<br>
<br>
"Young people live life faster," says Lyn Goodall, president of the
Melbourne PC User Group. "They don't have a need or a wish to know what is
going on under the bonnet of their computer." The modern young geek seems
content to socialise online, rather than seek physical company of fellow geeks.<br>
