I can't help but think of many years ago when e-mail first came out. My mother was not interested in it—period. There was no sense trying to convince her that she'd love e-mailing back and forth with her children and grandchildren. Snail mail was her preferred method of communication.

But how can we keep up with technology, or should we even try to do this? What do you think?

Have a great week,
