It's amazing.

 When I was a young child the telephone that hung on our kitchen wall could do two things - make and receive calls. And that was very nice. When I was a working Realtor I had a car phone, big and boxy but still able to make and receive calls.  Eventually I graduated to a flip phone which allowed me to send texts if I was patient enough to tap each key multiple times to spell out words.  Then I got a semi-smart phone and could send texts more easily.  Finally, a few years ago I got my Moto7, probably old technology now but still a tool that continues to amaze me.  From emails to texts to Facebook to YouTube to ordering groceries to even making phone calls it does it all.  And today I discovered a new (to me) app that makes it even more marvelous.  I have long been a fan of books on CD that I could listen to while I was busy with other things like driving, but now I don't need a CD player or a trip to the library.  I can use "Libby."  I clicked on it by accident but discovered that, with it, I can check out recorded books from the library and listen to them on my phone.  Isn't that amazing?  Who ever thought that our phones could do so much?  I think Libby is destined to become my new BTF (best technology friend).
