Technology Through Our Eyes

My Mother just got done booking a flight to Hawaii on line. It was so interesting to sit beside her and watch her. First of all, I had asked her what she was doing. She told me she was booking on-line. She explained that she was booking a flight and that was called booking on-line. Now you can also book hotel reservations on line, and also car rentals. There are endless possibilities of things that are booking on-line things.

After my Mom was done booking on-line her reservation flight to Hawaii, I decided to use the computer and check out my chat room. Yes, every night about 7:30, I have a special room I go into and it is called a chat room. A bunch of us girls get together on the net and go into this chat room and talk about everything we have done for the day.

One night, Reba was talking about her Mom showed her how to do on-line shopping. She was telling us what all she had bought, and how easy on-line shopping was compared to walking to the mall in her town. Her Mom works every day, so if she wants to go to the mall, she has to walk or ride her bike. So on-line shopping is so much easier for me.

Other girls were talking about games they play on line, some were talking about studying for their permit on line, and of course some were talking about a messenger. It was such a fun evening to learn a lot of new stuff. Then my Mom walked in and said she needed to use the computer to check her reservation.

She got on line and was checking her flight. The first time she looked at it, the plane was suppose to leave on time. Then she got an email saying her flight was going to reroute a different way to Hawaii. According to the new email she got, she will have 2 delays, making her flight 3 hours later than when she was suppose to arrive. She just sighed, and said, Oh Well, nothing I can do about it. She will just have to call her company and her boss that will be delayed.
