While here in Germany, we have managed to stay in touch with family and loved ones and get around Germany with technology that just didn’t exist 20 years ago. While 20 years ago they did not have to rely on a horse and buggy there is nothing like riding through a German town via horse and buggy. But some of the advancements are really worth it.
We have email, internet, skype, google video chat, free long distance phone calls back to the states, magic jack Voice over IP phone. Carry an Iphone around with us so we are connected at all times. We watch TV via a slingbox hooked up to cable box back in the states. We have GPS with Europe maps that allow us to get out and “never be lost”. I can watch sermons from my home church over the internet! Keep up with friends and family, share pictures of our travels via Facebook.
Yes, I am thankful for the technology that allows me to stay in touch, stay connected and allow me to venture out seeking new adventures while in Europe! But I do enjoy getting back to the good old fashion things too!
