Technology is taking over, now it’s Wikis

As my wife and prepare for the next part of our lives to begin with the birth of our first child, I find myself daydreaming of what it must have been like for o our parents when we we were born.  Was it more difficult because of all the new inventions and technology there is now?  Or was it easier for basically the same reasons?  Just small things that we take for granted now days; like the bank.  Back in the day, being a bank teller had to be one of the worst jobs — especially on F.  There was no direct deposit or ATMs.  Everyone had to (get this) – go into the bank.  Like banking, a lot of other things have gotten easier — drive thru fast food, the microwave, 100’s of channels on the television, cd’s & dvd’s,  cell phones, the computer, and my personal favorite — the remote control.
Of course these are the most obvious changes but there are minor things that can leave a huge impact on things.  Take for example: Wikis.  I watched a 2 minute video on how to set up and use a Wiki.  These can be used for a number of things to explain or show others what you want them to see or understand.
Here’s my idea.  Now let’s take of one of the most pure and probably one of the most priceless items of new parents — the baby book.  Could you imagine using a Wiki to create a baby book.  Sure there are some small problems:  where to put the baby’s hair from his/her 1st haircut, but put those  small problems aside.  Imagine a family that is spread out throughout the state, county or world.  How great would it be for my aunt in California to see her great niece or nephew daily from over 3,000 miles away? 
As I learn more about these, this might be the way I sway towards.  We’ll see, I have some time to think about it (around 5 1/2 months).
