I heard a joke recently: imagine someone from 100 years ago time travels to today and asks what people do with handheld devices that give them instant access to almost every bit of data in the world and instant connectivity to anyone globally…and the answer would be ‘we watch cat videos and argue with strangers on social media’…

As funny as that is, what I find not funny is how common it is for people to be unaware of how to use the tools they have. These essential skills apply to iPhone users, but I am sure there are similar tools available to the Junior Varsity team….I mean Android users. 👍🏻
