Tech moms in a connected world - 29 September 12

I am writing this for Intel Fleximoms Techmoms Blogathon



I want to purchase so many things....what do I do???? where do I go??? Where do I get the details of all the places the various articles will be available? Whom do I ask? My family? Friends? Maid?? God help me!! Despair, despair!!!!!!

In the world of yore, I would not have had much of a choice. But, in the times that we live in, each one of us has been bestowed with a techie within us. The non-techie me even!!! Now, I have the phone & internet to find out where I can source my needs from. Hell, even my local grocer has a mobile to take our orders..... Book a cab online, hop in and go shopping royal style. I have the choice to purchase online without moving my ...little finger, of course (what did you think I was going to say?? Eh?).

Honey, the world has shrunk and how!!

You can purchase books online, you can even read e-books. Did I hear an exclamation? E-books, Kindle, PDF downloads of books, at half the cost. Man, that’s cool and oh so affordable. And, I can write without a pen and paper, save my writings forever and even publish online!!! WOW. Where a printed book can take 3-12 years to get published, an e-book can be published in as less as SIX months…..is that true??? Sure it is.

Standing in a long que to book tickets, pay bills etc etc has become a part of folk lore. Online payments are the order of the day.

Technology savvy, who is that? All of us. In our own ways all of us are tech savvy these days. Getting organized is not such a chore now. Can you see a smile on my face, a big one??? We have technology. We are savvy. We are the world……
