I get this same rush every week or so, and can't keep myself from saying, "The future is HERE." I even say it when I'm alone. Nurture that wonder, lady. Don't ever let anyone convince you it's dopey or hayseed. The people who invented these technologies would WANT us to be gleeful over them, don't you think? Hah!

I was in the Charlotte airport cruising Facebook when I saw that my cousin had updated that my grandmother was in the hospital in Calgary, and I was able to call my Dad before I got on the plane and get the details.
