The Wonders of Technology

When I was in Kenya 30 years ago I wrote paper and pen letters and postcards home and waited weeks for replies. A letter was a special occasion and a thrill. Now the thrills are more immediate - today Simon and his son Francis contacted us via Skype and we were able to talk and see each other in real time. It was a great surprise and nice that I was able to introduce my non-travelling husband to my distant friends.

We have become so accustomed to the technological wonders of our world that we forget what a short time ago it was that none of this was possible.
