Text messaging changed my dad

Text messaging has been around for decades I can remember when it comes $$$ to send alphanumeric pages to a multi-line skytel pager back in the early 90's. Fast forward >>> 20 plus years and we now have text messaging capabilities that can do a lot of stuff such as: send pictures and emojis pay back a friend for lunch make someone's day awesome by sending them a positive quote help people in an emergency situations Text messaging has been a huge culture shift on how we communicate in today's world. Listen in on 2 perspectives regarding text messaging from my dad and daughter. My dad gets to share how it has benefited him learning a new skill after retirement and My daughter shares a 'cool' thing that's super simple to her be a teaching experience to her grandpa. As with this show everything was done just using my smartphone, no fancy microphones, sound studios, or multiple retakes. Here are three things I hope you take away from this episode: Learning a new skill is hard for everyone Use a teaching moment as an opportunity to connect with your loved one's through conversation It's always better to give than to receive Have a great day! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/techfannypack/support [https://anchor.fm/techfannypack/support]
