Most moms today are very digital.... we have our I-phones, or Droids. We text. We share photos. We're on Facebook.
However, it's our moms (the grandmas of today) that are often not so digital.
Learning how to 'speak' the digital world of technology is like learning a new language. Walking our moms through skype, email, or computer basics is often a very big (and frustrating) task!
But we do it, because we want to share photos of the grandkids and get our parents into the world we live in, speaking our language.
Kids are so different! They are sponges. They are learning how to 'speak digital' in a totally immersive way today as technology surrounds them and is such a normal part of their everyday lives.
This Mother's Day, I applaud all great moms out there who are helping their own moms 'speak digital' - maybe you even bought your mom a digital gift like a digital frame....
And I also applaud my own mom - as the founder of Imagine Tomorrow, she's the most tech-savvy, forward thinking 'mom' of her generation. She had the vision 20 years ago about how technology would be changing our lives.
Happy Mother's Day, mom! I'll look forward to skyping with you!

ReplyDeleteLaura, I remember my daughter teaching me how to do a Power Point for my third graders when she was 10 years old. Now she is 20 and her mom is a technology teacher. Who knew? Thank you to my beautiful daughter for being so patient with me. I've come a long way!
