100 Days of Thankfulness - Day 6

100 Days of Thankfulness: Day 6 -- I am thankful for all of the wonderful advances in technology . . . from the smartphone to the laptop to the tablet computer. As a young and isolated child, I begged my parents to buy me a computer. I longed to be able create, research and write on the devices I saw used on Star Trek. Back then, the computer would have filled up the entire living room or perhaps the entire house. Although my first encounter with a computer wouldn't materialize until college, I was bitten by the technology bug and am so thankful to be able to use so many functional devices for my professional life and personal one.
