Once again, Eric Schultz (The Occasional CEO) has come up with just the right note. My list of his serious posts I want to share and comment on grows longer, but this one popped right to the top. So true, so true.
As I said in a comment to his post, it reminded me of a Christmas scene from 2003: Like this one, it's a living room setting with five people. Three are busy with computers on their laps. (This was almost 10 years ago: no iPhones, no iPads.) The fourth is also intently focussed, not on a computer screen but on the fifth, a newborn baby. No, not that newborn baby, but I did title the picture, We Three Nerds. Oh, wait. This is my own blog; I can include the picture itself.
Sorry it's such a lousy picture. Our camera at the time was an old Sony Mavica, at one time high tech, but it created small files and saved them to a 3.5 inch floppy disk, which couldn't hold even one picture from my present (inexpensive, Kodak) camera.
Thanks, Linda! As I mentioned, mothers multitasking with babies has been around a lot longer than the rest of us mutitasking with screens.
