a thought






my brother, in Spokane, and I (here, in Providence) have been working on bits and pieces of my mom's health and financial care. She's perfectly capable but there are pieces I just. don't. understand.
and he has a bit more time than I do to gather information.

yesterday he sent some information via email to keep me updated about whatever whatever and I asked him/wondered out loud/in writing what all people used to do back in the day when they had so many bits and pieces of information to share and needed each other's input.

[his response appears above]

all of which to say that the technology is extremely useful to us in our real lives. (as opposed to our false lives?)
and that makes me wonder how adult educators and learners are using technology day to day - what are the authentic purposes we have for all of this lightening quick communication stuff?
