Isn't technology great? Our son, Andrew, just tried convincing Dad that he's old enough for a Facebook account, like his older brother, Henry. Henry, it turns out, just "friended" the son of Andrew's aquatic therapist. (I think Andrew may be jealous!) And Mom received a message to her Facebook account today from Easter Seals about ADA laws.
Now more than ever, social networks like Facebook help us all connect better to each other. We can use this technology to have fun and stay connected with friends and family everywhere. We can also use it to share information, ideas and resources with people "like us," learning from each others' shared experiences.
I often wonder, what will this technology offer people like Andrew as they get older and long for more social interaction than may be physically possible because of their limited mobility?
