Bog #5

I think technology is great but it has made us a little less formal. I was in St. George this past weekend and I recieved a text message to a good friends wedding, instead of the traditional invitation they decided to send out texts to the friends. It may have been a little tacky, and saved them some money but it just goes to show how far technology is starting to take over some of the most formal means of communication, like getting a letter invite to a wedding. Instead of asking for barbie dolls and matchbox cars my bros' kids who are under ten years old are asking for cell phones and computers. I think that we only have better days ahead with more gadgets and gizmos to come and maybe a lot of us think we are becoming less forma l and less social because we were raised a bit different but this what we have now and there is a good chance things wont return to the "old ways"

that's a fascinating use of technology. You say we are less social but then do you mean that IM does not count as being social?
