One day I was at Panera and saw a family of four having lunch "together." Dad was on his cell phone, Mom and daughter each had laptops in which they were fully engrossed. The son had earbuds in and was listening to his ipod. Few things can isolate you quite like personal electronics. Maybe they were in the midst of a cross-country road trip and desperately needed some time away from each other. At any rate, they were only spending time together in the most technical sense of the term.
And yet, tonight when Virgina decided to have some very awake time from 10:30 until after midnight, this was our activity of choice:
No, hers doesn't work. It died a few months ago. And James only has a laptop because his employer lets him use it for free.

ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome :) I'm with Nancy -- who is the photographer?
ReplyDeleteWe just got JD a fisher price lap top the other day and it's SO funny to watch him pull it out and sit next to Jeremy. We got away with using an old broken keyboard for a while but it didn't take him long to figure out our trick.
