I can see that technology has its advantages but, at times, is it not just complicating what was already a rather simple process?

THERE are various things our children say, at some time in their lives, that we never forget. Like the time my daughter was five and, being a fussy eater, we celebrated when she took a small taste of spaghetti for the first time. When I asked her what she thought of it she said, “It was lovely, but I never want to eat it again in my life, thank you.”

Or one Easter, when another of my daughters bounced out of pre-school and told me her teacher had read a lovely story.
