Their reflections were great and each varied in meaning and understanding. We are lucky to have such an easy accessibility to technology. I sometimes feel that we forget that we’re even using it.

Be appreciative of the abilities it grants for us. Be mindful of the possibilities and immense learning opportunities it creates.
