Before anyone starts, this isn’t a pro-iPad or even a pro-Apple post. It’s a pro-technology post.
That’s 83-year-old “Grandma O” in Chicago, using Facetime on the iPad to talk to two of her great grandsons (Phoenix and Griffin) back in Oklahoma. This may be the closest thing to a Kodak moment I’ve ever had a hand in helping pull off.
I do believe Grandma has Skype installed on her computer as well, so maybe we can continue these sorts of video chats. But yeah, moments like these remind me that we really are living in the future.
That’s so great. When you were born, she so hated being so far away and afraid you wouldn’t know who she was. She made sure that didn’t happen, but it took a lot of effort on everybody’s part. Now her Oklahoma great-grandkids will always know and love Grandma O!
It was so good to see Griffin and Phoenix and Morgan and Mason too
