Re: friday funnies early



I like to be surrounded by old technology--a rotary phone,
LPs, antique typewriters, quills & inkwells...My children are
accustomed to Mom's weird ideas of what's cool, though their
friends are often amused & puzzled.

The other day I found out that my son's school replaced all its math
textbooks with new ones, in part because the math word problems
contained references to records and tapes, not CDs, and the kids
didn't know what they were. It made me think about the difficulty
of keeping print sources up-to-date, and the future of printed vs.
electronic texts....
