I know that if any my grandfathers (all 3 are gone) had left a journal on a site online that went under, I would be *furious*. Many sites have already gone under. So also be in tune with the fact that writing stuff for them to find in the future is important too. They want to hear your voice, see you in video, read your words, share and understand who is in your pictures. This gets more important as they get older and family ties become more important!

This is such a wonderful website with so many interesting ways of families keeping in touch. I like the idea of using technology to bridge the generation gap. This is why I published a children’s book entitled, “Grandma’s First Computer”. I invite you to get a preview glimpse by following my URL. Keep up the good work.

You completed my article with the quote from Alex Haley – that was a great way to sum it up, that is what the joy of grandparenting is about and why staying connected is so important. Thanks for posting my comments.

and our site! lol….. sorry – I just get so excited when I see this blog about using available technology because I’m teaching my grandparents on my father’s side how to use the internet and it’s just opened up a whole new world for them.

I am encouraging them to write stories and I post them for them on our site. These are more precious than gold. But – they also use the site just to stay in touch with the kids.

Anyway I’m probably starting to sound like a spammer here

Grandpa Davison – You did a great job writing this article. There is lots of helpful information here. I really appreciate you being a guest writer.

I encourage all grandparents to take advantage of these internet services. The benefits are very rewarding! I also encourage you grandparents to connect with grandparents like Grandpa Davison and the other guest authors. — Oh, and also Tanda and me. LinkedIn.com is a wonderful resource for professional connections.
