Great fun, as you know if you've ever had the experience.

I was thinking the other day about how we're beginning to live in the virtual reality world talked about in the science fiction books years ago. Kids, and boomers, are on their devices all the time. The other day, I wanted to turn a corner in a parking lot. A boomer was on his device -- texting, tweeting, or surfing the web -- standing in the way, right in front of the stop sign. I had to drive around him to get to Kits Camera. Rita, blogging at The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide Your article on apps is interesting.

I too felt it was important, and have been writing my grandchildren their "stories" since I found out their mom was expecting them. The oldest is 7 now, and there is a 4 yr. old and a 6 month old. I do it for all of them and the oldest already loves reading hers. I'm a "Far Away" grandparent, so I write every time I visit them and I copy funny emails their mom sends to me about them into their stories. It makes me feel more "connected" to them.

After a year of facebooking, I also deactivated my account about 2 weeks ago, for several different reasons. Mainly, I found it was really a time-sucker, and I also worried about the egotism involved. I blogged about why I quit Facebook, and here's a link to the post, if you're interested: http://www.blogher.com/facebook-party-pooper-or-why-i-quit-facebook?page=full I agree with you totally.
