My granddaughter, Hannah, turned 9 yesterday. Among the presents she received to celebrate the occasion was a "Gizmo watch". What, you may ask, is a Gizmo watch. I had no idea until the Divine Mrs. M schooled me. It turns out, for the technology challenged among us, the Gizmo watch is the 21st century answer to the Dick Tracy watch used by the eponymous detective I read in the Sunday funnies in the 50s and 60s. I was fascinated by Tracy's ability to make phone calls through his wristwatch. And here we are, 60 plus years later with a 9 year old making calls (to trusted folks in her network) on old Dick's watch. Makes me feel like a kid again!
