It’s probably not ok that my son’s first word was “Spongebob.” I remember looking at my wife and thinking, “Did he really just say that?”  Why, yes….yes he did, but more on that later. 

As I sit here writing this blog on my laptop, I have my iPad open to my e-mail account while it plays my favorite tunes on internet radio.  Of course, it has me well-trained.  As soon as I hear the tell-tale “ping” of a new message, I will drop what I am doing and find out what “important” business awaits.  Additionally, my cell phone is next to me just in case someone needs to reach me immediately via text or call.

There is no denying that technology has become intricately laced into my day to day routine.  But in spite of its complications, there is nowhere in my life I am more positively impacted by technology than in my life-long quest to become a better guitar player.
