On what would have been my Mother's 90th birthday

Today would have been my Mum's 90th birthday. As she died before mobile phones were commonplace, let alone smartphones and e-readers,  I occasionally wonder what she would make of the world today.  Would she be like Queenie, still curious at 90 and happy to embrace the wonders of modern technology or would she be suspicious of change like others of her generation?
A fearless, strong woman, despite her limited educational opportunities, I'd like to think Mum would have embraced email and social media and relished the opportunity to stay connected with her family and friends across the country and beyond!
