“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” -Arthur C. Clarke

Living with three teenagers and growing an internet business has kept me somewhat current with technology. Unlike many adults in my age range, I can see my way in and out of most social media, although I don’t spend much time there.
