My Mom is really smart
So I’m talking to my Mom the other day and she mentions we’re going to buy a camcorder for Kelly and John since my niece or nephew is on the way. “Great idea,” I tell her.
Out of nowhere she impresses the heck out of me by asking, “So, are digital cameras going to upend camcorders?” She’s noticed how digital cameras can do video and she’s wondering if it makes more sense to buy a digital camera. She’s also astutely noticed the typical digital camera memory card doesn’t seem to be able to store enough space to make using one as a camcorder practical.
I told her it was a great question but she should plan to buy a camcorder.
Does this mean the “average” person is getting smarter about technology, am I being condescending, or is she just really sharp? I don’t know, but regardless of the answer I’m still impressed.
