    My daughter asked me to print out a picture for her to color. So we selected one on my computer, printed it to my printer (HP, amirite George?). Then she asks, how does the picture get from my computer to the printer?

    So I told her the computer knows which printer is mine and sends it wirelessly. She's like, what's that mean? I said, well it uses something called Bluetooth. She says, how does that work? And at that point I was like... it's basically magic.

    Sometimes I forget how advanced technology is compared to when I was a kid.

      It's a teachable moment about radio waves and how they're really light waves, outside the visible range that humans can see. And how the visible range is such small part of the total range.

      Education is extremely important.
