Kevin Kelly of Wired Magazine posited a number of statistics that describe how quickly our whole way of communicating and often how we organize our lives have changed.  I thought I would pass them along:
 

There are 2 billion portals for entering the web (including cell phones.)
            100 billion clicks on the WWW/day
             55 trillion links on the WWW
             2 million emails are sent every second.
             1 million IM messages are sent every second.

Contrast this web communication with:            
 65 billion phone calls per year.

So if you think your phone is ringing less – it is.  We are quickly changing the way we communicate with each other.  This has huge implications for how we think, learn, teach, and relate in a quickly changing technological and social environment.  And in turn creates opportunities and unique challenges for parents.  What’s your favorite way to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues?
