FaceTime is a wonderful invention for those who are separated by distance. Now im not talking about communicating with the quarantined down the block. I remember being aware of long distance charges not that long ago. Now we facetime over the internet with no roaming charges. The only problem is that the camera cannot catch up to the ever moving grand children. We get motion sickness conversing with them.
The other day I overhead a FaceTime conversation with the wife and our seven year old grandson. They both use the same online program for school. She teaches (or at least she is trying to develop curriculum for her kindergarten students) and he gets lessons from his teacher. I can hear her asking questions on the features of the program and the grandson explaining in great detail how the program works.
Im not sure who I was impressed with most, my grandson for his knowledge and his ability to describe in detail the program from memory, or the initiative and drive from the wife in asking the grandson how the program is being used in order to provide better content for her students.
All I know is that Dick Tracy (Chester Gould) is somehow smiling on how we are finally catching up.
