    If anyone cares, the correct approved term by the AP is now “tweet.” She sent me a “tweet.” My daughter’s only 6, she said “Happy Father’s Day” and drew me a little card that I have up in my cubicle.

    Young people addicted to their electronic gadgets are already on their way to becoming clueless of their surroundings, let alone their unsentimental greetings.

    Two of my daughters are so old fashioned. They called me on their cell phones. The third is absoloutley historic. She & her husband came and took me out to dinner.

    @satipera4 - Individuals most certainly DO have children. I have been a child of a single-parent household for 35 years. If my mother every said WE have three kids people would have looked at her as if she were batty.

    Regarding the ‘intrusion’ of twitter in our way of life—how many people on this list write letters as opposed to making telephone calls? Communication changes. It has been changing continuously for two centuries and we are ever-adapting ourselves, our environments, and our technology so they all fit better together. Twitter will not destroy the family bond except in cases where it was already weak to begin with.

    And…it goes both ways. Did he send a tweet to his daughter on her birthday? Perhaps that is what she would prefer.

    This is an interesting one to me as I struggle with this very issue with my own mother—determining how to balance phone, email, and IM (but not twitter) to stay in touch with one another.
