#6 Tecnology tools

How do you choose between the useful technology tools? Here are a few I use frequently:

• The cell phone: How did parents find out where their children are and why are they not home yet (that is of course if the children remembered to charge their phones before going out and keep it switched on) without this handy gadget?
• The digital camera: Isn't it wonderful to be able to take loads of pictures and then select and delete to your hearts content, and send them by email to family and friends at no extra cost.
• MP3 players. Load all the family's favourite music onto this tiny device and you don't need to take a stack of cds with on holiday.
• The World Wide Web - didn't that open up horizons! Information a click away, entertainment whenever you feel like it. My personal favourites are discussion lists and wikis.
• Video/DVD player to watch the movies/programs you missed whenever you have time for them.

There are many more technology tools/applications I am using on a daily basis without being conscious of it. But I must say that I still have favourite older technology - knitting needles, gardening tools and of course the book. (Have a look at this video about Introducing the book.)
