27、g separated from the information age is voluntary and deliberate.Mom is still that farm girl, and she takes the most pride in it. She sees her neighbor and her community “real”. She shows no interest in the digital and virtual life. My mother saw Depression, World War II and the beginning of the Col
28、d War before reaching voting age. She enjoyed country music on “The Sons of the Pioneers”, a Canadian broadcast. The battery was so precious a resource that radio was limited to the barn because Grandma thought it helped cows produce milk. In the age when Churchill moved millions for the first time
29、with radio broadcasts, she only experienced live media monthly, if at all.In her early twenties, Mom completed nurses training and worked in that field before marriage, family and church became her lifes concerns.

30、series we watched, comedies like All in the Family. Computers, the Internet and mobile apps are simply not part of her experience.Mom disagrees with the opinion that technology simplifies life. In her life, she sees online records, email and paperless systems as mysteries in which no written referen
31、ce can assist her.However, I can partly understand: I like such kind of experience and relationship one has with physical books. I am a child of television who only - 6 -recently switched to online viewing. Ive written down my awkward, love-hate relationship with my devices. Moms technophobia surely

35、own the relationship with physical booksBMarjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans. She wasnt married and had no kids, but she didnt intend to be aloneshe and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies. Instead, Baer developed terminal brain cancer
36、 when she was 52. But just as shed hoped, her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end. Ballance was only the first of Baers friends who became her unofficial caregivers. With her brother Phil Baer from Los Angeles, they worked out a system to watch over their friend and allow h
37、er to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.Baers good friend Ruth Henrich took Baer to doctors appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life answering machines, TV controls, and even phone numbers.

41、vices such as Lotsa Helping Hands, friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done, volunteer to do them, and keep updated on the persons condition. As Baers cancer progressed, for example, her friends set up a page on Yahoo! where people could sign up to deliver meals or do
42、 errands（差事）.Catherine Fox, one of the friends who were present when Baer died, was deeply affected. “It was so comforting to know that if youre willing to ask for help, the generosity of family and friends can be phenomenal（显著的）.

47、 important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive(富有哲理的) ess
