This is my 30-something daughter doing something with her iPhone at the moomincabin. I birthed this daughter (my first of two) when I was 30.

At that time, we didn’t have cell phones at all, at least those of us who were driving our babies around in little Ford Fiestas didn’t. The moomincabin did not have a telephone at all. Or maybe it did. I’m not exactly sure when we first got telephones here. My doctor-uncle had one forever but that was because docs need to be on call to deliver babies or sew people’s noses back onto their faces or whatever. My uncle was a talented GP and did a whole lot of things, baby delivery being one of them and maybe one of the more fun things, at least most of the time.

My old coot was an early adopter of cordless phones (at least on the moominbeach) and I remember him sitting on the beach calling his childhood friend Ag on her cordless two cabins away.

Eventually I got my first iPhone (2007) and when I came up here with it I was totally astounded that I could actually post something to the internet with my phone, not via the dial-up modem. It was slow but it worked.

Fast forward through 4G and DSL modem and eventually fiber optic… People who hear that I telecommute from the moominbeach often ask how my service is. It is top notch!

BTW this dates meeeee but the person in the photo is at the upper end of 30-something. But isn’t she beautiful?
