I guess you could say it comes with the territory, so to speak. I’m a member of the first generation of American children who had a home computer.

Or, more accurately, I am a member of the last generation of American children who remembers life without a home computer.

Either way, I’ve embraced 21st century technology, both in my work and at home. So, when a new Internet fad comes along, it’s likely I’ve somehow experienced it. In fact, there have been more than a few times that I’ve been a “beta tester” for innovations many of the newest generations of American computer users have now long since taken for granted.
