I am so excited! This is the first time I have ever typed something using the correct keyboarding techniques-you know, with my fingers properly placed on the home keys.

The people who are the most in tune with today’s technology are young people.  My daughter, nephew and their friends can do way more with my iPhone and iPad than I can even imagine. Frankly, they can do more than I’d ever want to do, but that’s not really my point.
