That's the crazy thing. I do have analog clocks in the house! Actually we have both, but I am afraid that most of them are digital clock radio types. Apparently she has to "think" when she looks at an analog clock, but she doesn't have to "think" when she sees a digital clock, so she thought she needed to tell me I should switch my phone's clock mode. :-) This younger generation certainly does things differently. Both of my girls have cell phones. I pay their phone bill and they barely talk on them. But they each send about 1500 text messages per month. That is the preferred medium for her generation. If I send her an email when she is at school, I oftentimes won't get a reply for days. If I send her a text message she usually responds in less than an hour if she isn't in class. Just wait until this generation gets to the corporate CEO level. Corporate announcements will be made via text message... :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
