Thanks. I'll have to catch the podcast, because Mondays are my day off, too, and I'll be getting our oldest down for her nap at noon in Utah.

For Walt: The technology that teenagers have access to continues to change and advance at a rapid rate. A great and timely MySpace seminar that a tech-savvy parent did at our church two years ago is now outdated. Yes, it's important for parents to understand the basics of the technologies that their teenagers are using (Facebook, Twitter, advanced cell phones, etc.), but in a year, there will be something new to learn. In addition, by the time most parents are aware of a technology, it is reaching its peak, has already garnered a huge following among teenagers, and it takes many parents and youth workers by surprise. What are guiding principles you would offer to parents and youth workers as technology continues to develop and it becomes nearly impossible to stay informed about the new ways teenagers use technology?
