Penny MitchellPenny has a son in Australia, a daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter in South Africa, and parents in the UK. In her student days, she strengthened her fingers on a typewriter. She later conquered her fear of the telex machine. It would erupt with horrific rattling to signify a live connection with a faceless one across the globe. Today, communication plays a crucial role in her career.
Penny spends her leisure time exploring the universe and staying in touch. Her laptop is close enough to walk her fingers between worlds, and she doesn’t miss a thing. |
Sue TrollipSue has family in California and friends in the UK and so is an avid Skype user. She enjoys keeping in touch via Facebook and swopping pictures on Picasa. Although she joined Twitter, she can’t quite feel the fever.
There are many things she has no desire to go without, including her Blackberry and her e‑reader. Sue has worked in the editing and administration fields for over 20 years and has a BA(Hons) degree in Theory of Literature. |
