Story-telling might look a little different than before but it will be revived. <br /><br />The family keeps telling me they are going to get me a phone('cause what if they want what they want exactly how and when they want it and I'm not home!!;-)lol<br /><br />I reassure them for a woman that is home most of the time I simply don't see the need for one at this stage. Besides, I like to know they can solve a dilemma if the need arises...or heaven-forbid,they must simply wait:) yes, I'm an ancient being in a middle-ancient body.<br /><br />Now I want to post the optimistic take on technology 'cause we never would have 'met' (all of us here) in cyber-space, without it!Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-85710934105317953512015-03-13T10:58:30.164-04:002015-03-13T10:58:30.164-04:00It is a different world, it's overwhelming and...It is a different world, it's overwhelming and can be quite disturbing. But I think we might see a comeback of storytelling in its best sense, not just in books, but in movies; a return to the old classic forms..I think there'll be a need for that.<br /><br />I do own a mobile phone, a flip one, with big buttons! Hate touch screens. Or rather they hate me :-)Sasha A.

I try to set boundaries too, but even with that it is a different world today! <br />I also do not have a cell-phone:-) <br />but I do love the connections technology allows.<br /><br />It seems though, that story-telling is maybe not as common as it once was and not all the blame is on technology but some, I believe, is.<br /><br />Yesterday we got a glimpse of winter, at last yielding to honey-bee afternoons! <br /><br />Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-92168528869440927162015-03-13T10:09:25.753-04:002015-03-13T10:09:25.753-04:00I think the trick is to be in charge, to show the ...I think the trick is to be in charge, to show the technology who's boss. And with kids - teach by our own example, as well as do the 'tough love' when necessary, set rules and limits.<br />Easier said than done, I know.<br /><br />Even though I'm very conservative myself (an iPhone I received a few years ago as a gift is still unpacked :-), I try to embrace technology, as long as it serves people and not the other way around.<br /><br />Hey, we wouldn't be able to blog without it :-) <br /><br />"A sweet, summer honey-bee<br />Living-room" -<br /><br />I want to be there right now!Sasha A.
