You have no idea how painful it is for me to type this article, I AM right handed and broke my wrist a few days ago, so i am using one finger on my left hand to tpe very slowly. I could use my Ipad which has an app that allows me to dictate but I am trying to get used to using my left hand to dress, eat etc.

Perseverance can take you far, which leads me nicely into a great article you can find on the TELUS Talks Business website

We live in a world of uncertainty. Technology has helped us lead more efficient lives but has also meant we use some technology 24/7 and appear not to be able to maintain a life without it. I am referring to cell phones. It's all about choices. In the olden days when children walked home from school alone they had been taught street smart tactics in case a stranger tried to tempt them into a car, one example. These days children are given cell phones from an early age and, yes, in some cases it is for their personal safety.
