One-a-day Gratitude

Today, I am grateful for . . .




Technology



I was training a new employee at work today.  Things have changed considerably since I started.  This training all occur using the computer.  Fifteen years ago, I printed a manual and reviewed each page with the new employee - page by page by page.  What horrible training!  It took hours.  And it was excrutiatingly boring.  I don't know how anyone stayed awake.  It is now interactive - and the new employee has a much better understanding of the material.

I am also grateful for cell phones, labptops, HDTV (not that I watch a lot, but the picture is AMAZING), the internet, email (although sometimes it is a curse), modern medicine, crockpots, and microwaves.  All these things make my life so much easier.  I can't imagine trying to make Thanksgiving and Christmas plans via Pony Express.


Feel free to add whatever technology makes your life easier.
