Why a virtual front porch?
Just a few short years ago,
🏠 the front porch was the most important "room" of a home.
- Men folk would sit around the front porch
😏 teaching boys how to whittle whistles out of willow, etc.- Often the women folk would join them.
😋 They taught young girls how to get the men folk to pick up their dirty socks, etc.- Of course, kids were often seen sitting on grown ups laps
🏃 or off somewhere playing.
- Of course, kids were often seen sitting on grown ups laps
- Often the women folk would join them.
- 👴 Older folks were able to pass along the wisdom of their age to the younger folk. 👵
- Those who knew passed on their knowledge to those less experienced.
- Lives were shaped by family values passed along from the front porch meetings.
- Those who knew passed on their knowledge to those less experienced.
- The gatherings ended with everyone on the front porch
🌄 enjoying the sunset
and homemade peach ice cream. 🍦- This is the way it was just a few short years ago.
- Families were close and dependent on each other.
- This is the way it was just a few short years ago.
Look how far we have grown apart.
- If this present course is not changed
- I'm afraid this very important part of life will be lost.
- We can't go back to those times.
- I'm afraid this very important part of life will be lost.
We have to bring that spirit back with today's Technology.

When I first saw the Internet,
😎 The Internet in 1995 was a ground floor opportunity 😎
I had vision to see how it would become part of most people's everyday life.
- I was able to cash in on that, making a living creating web sites for about 5 years.
- I watched as many got rich by chasing venture capital for really stupid ideas.
- I decided to get a real job and turned my webmastering into more or less a hobby.
- I watched as many got rich by chasing venture capital for really stupid ideas.
Then over a decade later, I ran across Steemit.
