School Supplies

Without overly dating myself, I can remember when school supplies consisted of a few spiral notebooks, a giant sized Texas Instrument calculator with red number display, some Bic pens and maybe a binder.

The list that my high school freshman brought home last week included:

1. USB memory stick
2. Google account
3. Gmail account
4. Keyboard cover
5. Graphing calculator

My generational disconnect was further on display when a coach informed all parents that his only form of communication during the season was via text message.
