An iWorld

  I believe we're living in an iWorld. iMac, iPod, iPhone. It seems to be unavoidable. And I'm not one of those "technology rots, gimme a pencil and slip of paper" people either. I don't run around ranting, "Where's my typewriter." (if you're unsure of that reference drop me a note in the iVillage).  I enjoy technology. No, not just enjoy, but embrace it. In fact, I'm waiting for the "iBerry." (And Apple, should it come to pass, just send the check -- and I'm sure someone will correct me and tell me how the iPhone already does what an iBerry does. No matter.).

  But we are speaking some serious "Jetson" like technology available to the "everyman." I recently purchased an iMac. And not the least of it because I was turned off by the IBM "you find it, you keep it ads." I mean really, the ad isn't making me believe they're committed to customer service. Anyway, I bought the iMac for a very simple reason. iChat. My daughters live in other parts of the iWorld and having the ability to "see and talk" rather than just speak over the telephone was the crucial factor. So Friday night, my daughter sent me an iChat invitation and we spoke for like an hour. Me sitting in an apartment on one coast and her in her apartment on the other coast. 

  Amazing stuff.
