Things I think about

When I was a kid, I remember learning in school to know my address and phone number, so that if we were lost we could tell it to a police officer or other responsible party so we could get home safely.

Nowadays, kids have to know their phone number, their address, their mom's cell phone, dad's cell phone, mom's work number, dad's work number, mom's email, dad's email, mom's work address, dad's work address, and maybe their grandparent's info. And all those phone numbers are 10 digits, not 7 like back in my day.

Then again, I guess they just put it all in their Palm.
