I’m thankful for technology, because it makes it possible for me to work-from-home around my kids’ schedules. Thanks to the Internet, I can e-mail an editor at midnight or on weekends when I have a moment to work. She won’t hear my kids singing the “Beans… beans..” song in the background, because e-mail doesn’t have a soundtrack. I can create a web site that’s as attractive and content-heavy as a large corporation’s site, and I can take phone calls, forwarded from my Internet phone to my cell, while I’m waiting for the kids to finish their piano lessons. What’s on my Christmas list this year? A smart phone, so I can get that important e-mail while I’m finishing up a sand castle at the beach with my boys.
