Our kids today are being raised in an instant gratification, information and access to people right now and at my finger tips day and age.
Which has its pros and cons so don't get me wrong, I'm not here to say it's bad. And regardless of the pros and cons, it is simply amazing how the world of communication has changed.
I see it blatantly when I watch my kids trying to process technology. Brynn was trying to call a friend with my cell phone and she kept huffing in frustration.
Finally I asked, "Did you get a hold of her?"
"No! The phone's broken, something's messed up and it's not working."
"Let me see it," I took my phone from Brynn's hands and dialed the number, putting the phone up to my ear to hear what was going on that had her so frustrated.
And I heard it, "Beep beep beep beep beep..."
I started to laugh.
"Brynn, the phone isn't broken, that's a busy signal. It just means they're using their phone already so your call can't go through."
"So I can't call her?"
"Just call back in a few minutes."
