I thought it would be my 16 yr old son who would carry on the family tradition of being "into" technology, and he certainly is as a consumer and user of cell phones, iPods, video games, social media, etc. But despite my encouragement he has resisted my attempts to hook him on web page design, photoshop, and video editing. Imagine my pleasure then when my 12 yr old daughter asked me to show her the rudiments of iMovie so that she could edit some footage she'd shotof my baby great-nephews on her cell phone! Given that I was in the middle of an assignment of my own, I gave her a quick 15 minute intro and left her to it. Less than an hour later she had a hilarious 45 second movie of the babies dancing to "Walk Like an Egyptian"! Unfortunately YouTube cut out the soundtrack, but we all got a kick out of the original and hopefully this is the start of something beautiful!
Oh, and as for the jeans, she's also started wearing holes in the knees of hers, just like I did at that age!
