lazy or techno advanced

I was catching up on the news on the forum when I noticed I had received mail. I clicked over to see what had come in and it was from Madison.......downstairs. I mean she is only about 35 feet away from me and she emails me with her completed homework assignment. WHAT?? Is this the new age, or is she just too darn lazy to climb the stairs and talk to me in the kitchen? I emailed her back with some corrections on the composition, which did not make her too happy, and then I heard the familiar sounds of pre pubescent 'tween feet stomping up the stairs. Seems she did not like the changes I wanted her to make and then she found the energy to walk all the way upstairs. WHEW.

Is this the future of communicating with our children? If so, well, I can say it may not be all that bad!!
