I originally refused to use my 'hand me down' mobile 'phone, but I have recently forced myself to get to grips with it, because so many other things are being linked up with mobiles, nowadays. They are becoming essential, as are computers and access to the internet. If we don't keep up, we may become isolated, I feel. <BR/><BR/>This was a lovely post and I'm sorry I missed it first time round.Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-45519938206670201662009-03-04T16:49:00.000+00:002009-03-04T16:49:00.000+00:00Life moves so fast these days it is difficult to ...Life moves so fast these days it is difficult to keep up with technology.
