The Digital Generation

Cell phones, iPods, digital cameras, Xboxes. The current crop of young people is completely at home in the digital age. I'm amazed at how quickly some of them can work a keypad when texting. It's as natural to them as foosball was to my crowd when I was a teenager in the 1970s.

In this photo, my niece, Lauren, reviews some photos on her digital camera. Or maybe she's texting. Or maybe it's a video game of some sort. Well, at least I'm sure it's Lauren. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

You definitely captured Lauren. I wouldn't recognize them without their phone in front of them texting.

Ah, great pix! Good job "Uncle John!" I'm cracking up at Lauren's comment.

I love it!

It is truly amazing. They all left me in the dust a long time ago. At least I have a digital camera...not complicated but it still allows me to peek into the digital age.
Looks like you are "dead meat" !!
Too funny.

She's probably cracking into the secure computer facility at NORAD and playing a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War :) My 9 y/o can probably start the TV downstairs with his phone, ha ha.
