I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade Platinum Pacs. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
It’s kind of amazing how we get accustom to certain pieces of technology and then take them for granted. Smartphones are everywhere now yet 20 years ago cell phones in general barely existed (try explaining to your tween that when you were a kid you had to actually go looking for the people you wanted to talk to). Today if you want coffee you don’t have to brew an entire pot, you can simply pop in a single-serve portion of coffee or tea and have a cup in less than 30 seconds.
Another piece of technology that is fairly common in most households is a dishwasher. While it may be commonplace it’s definitely not something I take for granted. At one point when I was growing up our dishwasher broke and my parents never bothered to replace it. I asked why once and my father responded that they had three of them – myself and my two brothers (ha ha, Dad). Now that we’ve all moved out, they’ve of course had a new one installed.
