Being Digital for New Parents

For the second time in 10 weeks, four friends of mine became new parents to two baby boys. OK, that sentence is a little bit confusing but still makes perfect sense. Two different couples and they all are friends of mine, each couple had a new baby boy. The first couple, really close friends, had their first baby in January 2008. The second couple, welcomed their third baby boy just a few days ago.

I have been wanting to write about technology and being new parents for quite some times now. Finally I get to do it with the arrival of the two baby boys.

…….to be continued.
