Tonight, at dinner, the generations gathered to bless the Internet.

Evidently, only paranoid old people with boring secrets not worth protecting are still concerned about privacy. Our children have different boundaries. Example: even when you are not allowed not talk to them while their friends are around, you can text them at any time. For some tweens and teens, it is easier to text us than talk to us. At least we communic8 somehow.

Lots of discussion what the biggest Internet risk may be. My opinion: wasting time. Another: making us think that we need to learn how to use a piece of equipment when it may be more important for us to learn how to communicate, cook, sew, replace torn radiator hoses. Another: that technology is separating society, but it is disguised as something that unifies us.

When we marvel at technology, are we marvelling at our own ability to learn new things?
