I was so struck by this I have to comment... your daughters see
computers/scanners/printers as NORMAL, which they are but only in the last
10 or so years... while a 150-year old technology is seen as new and exotic
to them. I'm not old enough to feel this generation-gap! Really, I'm not,
but just like many of us I remember when a fax was new and exciting
technology, and nobody ever dreamed up anything as wild and futuristic as
the internet <g>. We speculate about the next Olympus digital SLR, or the
future of memory cards, and the truth will likely be something far beyond
our wildest speculation... and it will seem entirely normal to the next
generation.
