One of the great assets of my life is a son who is a geek. I am unaware of how many headaches he has prevented but I am aware it is happening. Why? Because I listen to the horror stories of other people. There are a lot of things in my skill set. I can install software and do some low level trouble shooting. I know what not to do in many cases. There is much more I might figure out but the learning curve does not justify the investment of time.
That is what geeks are for.
And it is often what children are for. They drag me kicking and screaming into the world of technology. Some of their cool stuff I reject. Some I work into my world. Not only did they teach me new levels of love but they taught me to check my e-mail on my phone.
