"Technology evolves rapidly, and each successive generation seems to be ‘smarter’ than the one before it—as if all of the tech knowledge of the past was genetically encoded in them at birth, and they used that as a foundation to build on and learn even more. It seems only fair then, on a day dedicated to repaying moms for being moms, that sons and daughters should pay it forward by sharing some of that advanced tech wisdom with their mother."

This article encapsulates so many things we here at JumpThru believe in.  We are big fans of the idea of thanking moms for all they do by sharing some technology wisdom, tips and how-tos, not just on Sunday but everyday. 

Last Christmas, my two sisters and I bought my mother an iPad.  Before the iPad, she had never accessed the Internet or written an email to anyone.  Now she’s an avid Youtube watcher and occasional email writer.  As an immigrant whose cultural roots still lie deeply in her home country, she loves being able access Korean news sites and entertainment programming on the iPad.  Now she can’t live without it!  

This Sunday, in addition to brunch, I’ll help her download some new and useful apps on what she calls her “little computer.”

Any suggestions on super-easy-to-use, Korean-language-enabled, cutting-edge iPad apps?  Otherwise I’m going to Ann Taylor.
