Techno-Toddlers

For the boys’ entertainment, we purchased a duel Digital Video Disc (DVD) machine for our minivan. Our plan was to keep the DVD player stoked with a constant supply of Thomas the Train movies during their waking hours in the car. Several rest and recreation stops were planned for each morning. In an earlier era, we might have gotten lost searching for the addresses on my caboose and playground list, but those were the days before GPS. Our car’s Global Positioning System (GPS) navigated us directly to these locations like we lived in those communities our entire lives. Prior to the advent of these technologies, a trip like this was inconceivable, but our twins will never know a world without these gadgets.
