I was preparing my training materials on Yahoo!Messenger and got really excited about the new PC to Phone feature in addition to the free PC to PC calls I have been using for a long time.
As I was feeling i am ahead of the game bringing this technology to my fellow co-workers next month, my daughter simply thought i should not make too big a deal about this. Of course, the digital natives talk in a different tone than we do. The way I look at how I use technology compared to the younger generations, if I am not digital 'aliens' to them, at least I could call myself a 'digital immigrants'.
