How did we ever manage without the Internet?

Below you see what what the series of tubes that is the Internet was really meant for: Playing peek-a-boo with your granddaughter 2300 miles away.



When I was a child, our family exchanged audio cassette tapes with my grandma in England. Long distance calls were incredibly expensive, and mailing a cassette audio tape was the most economical way of staying connected with relatives very far away. (We also had to walk to school in the snow, uphill, both ways)

Anneke will soon think cassette tapes are fun things to pull apart.

First of all-I LOVE your haircut!

I am thankful as you for webcams that are affordable, cheaper high-speed internet, and the technology that will allow our kids to know what their grandparents look like even across so many miles.
Maybe we'll be teleporting to see our grandkids someday. Or will it be holograms?
