Welcome to the month of June!
If you want to listen to Pavarotti's grandaughter sing, here she is.
I read an interesting article in the paper this week concerning social media and young people.
It says teens and tweens are not hanging out on Facebook anymore, they are using Pheed (an Apple itunes app where you can share text photos and video), Kik and Whatsapp (free text apps), Snapchat, Instagram and Tumbler. It advises ways you can monitor your kids' social networking habits for their own safety such as modelling good behaviour and teaching them to guard their privacy.
For myself, I'm noticing that I am preferring to go online with an Ipad rather than leafing through a magazine in my free time. It just seems more convenient.
And I keep reading more and more about 3D printing (making) technology. Here's an article about what it is.They are saying it will change the manufacturing world. Staples will soon be selling 3D printers on its website.

Good grief! The girl can sing too! She's inherited the family genes. Thank you so much for your kind comments while I was gone, Christine. Your messages always kept my spirits soaring while being cut off from my blog in China. I could still read your comments since they came by e-mail. Now I have to work on our photo album.
I think the social networks lead kids in the wrong direction, and they need good parents for guidance! Valerie
Goodness gracious me. No wonder kids can't have a proper conversation anymore. I am thinking of getting an ipad- wahoooo.
Facebook is no longer a place to hang out..even all the 13 years old boys said: "FB is stupid"!
I, myself, don't like FB..they are forcing advertising, games, and digging out personal information all the time!
I think it will be at least a good 2 decades before 3D printers really take off into a need than a want.
It's interested how technology evolves! I love Facebook with my older friends. I just read a PPT about the latest trends! I posted about it!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
Gee, Pavarotti's daughter sings so maturely for a little girl. I hope she doesn't ruin it and gets to sing professionally when she is an adult. Thanks for sharing the video with us, Christine.
good point Gigi, a friend was saying Charlotte Church ruined her voice by straining it that way.
I think 3d printers are amazing! Also, I love your red bottle below, really pretty...
Great note. :)

How quickly things can change from what's hot to what's not! Always new apps and places to play popping up everyday! Great post for keeping track!

Wouldn't a 3d printer be amazing to have!
Everyday brings a new change. We are going faster and faster. I love the idea of all this technology. It has added a whole lot to my life, and I'm excited to see what's around the bend. As for the 3D printers. I only wish I could have had those when I was teaching. It would have made it so exciting for the students. Through my years as a teacher, I got to see computers and the Internet really take off and change the way we teach and learn. I tried to make sure my students always had cutting edge technology. The 3D printer would be that right now.
