I'll be sure to tell my mother, who lives 1500 miles away, that she's out. "I know you carried me for nine months and supported me for 18 years, but when dad's job took him to Louisiana, and mine took me to Pennsylvania...well, we're just not that close anymore. Your grandsons said to tell you 'goodbye'.".
And it's not the
only way to keep in touch. It's merely the most convenient. I don't
need a food processor; I could chop all that stuff by hand. But it makes my life easier. That's kind of what technology is for.
