Technology has changed our lives over the past 40 years. My children cannot understand how my brother and I lived with only one television set, and one channel. The science fiction of yesterday has become the science fact of today. The Family Site of the Day ... continue reading...

My children are amazed that when I was growing up I didn't have access to VCR's, cable television, or video games. Technology has changed our lives more over the last 40 years than it has in all of the history of mankind. The changes come fast and furious today, so fast that tomorrow's science ... continue reading...

The youth of today are becoming more sophisticated at a younger age than my generation ever thought of. They are dealing with far more complex life situations, and technological advances that were only science fiction just a few years ago.
