Kids these days
I spent the weekend at the wedding of my brother’s oldest son, the first of the next generation to marry. The wedding was beautifully done as a meal - the ceremeny was literally between the crab cakes and the main course, and s series of toasts, speeches, and mingling bridged the dessert and coffee. The guests included many graduate students, who amazed me by saying that almost all their important papers - by which I mean their assignments, their research, their email, etc - existed only online. I can see that this is more efficient, but I am not ready to give up my hard drive. An early sign of fuddydom.
I guess we ‘cells’ are just hooking up a ‘nervous system’ with this internet, and I imagine that we are going to be obsessed with this new connectivity for some time to come. Even Quan has discovered email and the net, and we spend companionable time together each in our own screen light.
