Sometimes it seems like just picking up the phone is the best option. Why not just call the friend or family member and have a little personal interaction, right?
Why do we insist on using the newest technologies which, studies have shown, actually can decrease MEANINGFUL relationship interactions?
In other words, we may talk more with the text messaging and know what is going on with the blogging, but is it really as important to the progression of a friendship or familial relationship?
That being said, I am the one who used to make fun of the old people trying to figure out how they work "this there thing they call the world wide web" long after people had started calling it the Internet instead of the "world wide web." In other words, long after Al Gore invented the Internet, the old farts were just starting to learn how to use the Internet. Now, if they could only turn on the computer, that might be a possibility :).
Anyway, since I'm experiencing dissonance on the subject, I'm going to err toward the side of NOT being made fun of by everyone else in the family/friend circle and I'll use this blog to tell about our family's comings and goings; our triumphs and failures; our joys and dissapointments.
Sarah will be updating this as she feels so inclined. And when Sterling and Hyrum are old enough to do it, they will be scoffing at us for using that "old blogging technology."
