It occurred to me that my generation didn't really have a delete button for anything. I learned to type on a typewriter (gasp!) and if I messed up they handed us the little white strip that we had to use conservatively because I think it was on a school supply list and we respected "school supplies."
I took pictures with my friends in my teen years, but again, I had to be conservative with the "film" because it cost real money and I only had 24 or 36 shots on that roll before I had to pay real money again to even SEE them! I did not have social media (thank goodness!) as a teenager so when I wrote my friend a note I learned at an early age my words were forever. My projects in school had to evolve with my mistakes, sometimes taking on a blessing of a creation I would never have discovered if I had the option to just "delete" that presentation and start again fresh. We didn't delete or "unlike" our friendships and I pray my boys don't learn to delete their future wife or even unlike them in any way. We as parents & teachers are pioneers in this digital world because we don't have anyone to look to that has done this before and been successful. It takes a village people.....Or maybe a shared Google Doc? Delete is in my boys regular vocabulary but I pray it's not in their heart.
