Why I love the internet.........

In particular the communications aspect of the internet. I was in the car and this little segment on NPR (National Public Radio - probably a good subject for another blog on Why I love......) reminded me about exactly why I love webcams, skype and now new gmail web chat! Some of the stories are heart warming. We love the fact we got to "see" our new baby niece via skype! Now all we have to sort out is trying to communicate with people in different time zones, those who are IT challenged (and are not married to an IT wannabe nerd) and those people who just somehow fail to make the time for loved and lonely ones abroad, you know who you are!
