For you, no big deal though because there's nothing to compare it to and I have just recognised right now that people who can remember are in a quite privileged position - I guess a little bit like pre-industrial revolution and post.

My career required me to stay on top of the latest gadgets and programs or risk being replaced so I always embraced the new technology. Now day's I love my smartphone, I use it more than I have ever used any tool. I get news updates, stock updates, family updates via Facebook, and I play games on it. My house is now a "smart" house and I can control almost ever aspect of it from my smartphone. Security system, AC/Heat/lights/garage door/ and more. Traveling has never been easier, can take detours anytime you feel like it and your GPS will always get you back on the right road eventually. I Miss 17 Cents A Gallon Gas And Those Monthly $6.50 Communication Fees And Black Bakelite Telephones (Did You Know They Made Great Weapons~!) And Cars, Houses, Bank Accounts And Armed Forces That Remained Unhackable (Crowbars, Guns And Cannons Not Withstanding) The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalms 18:2 Well, At Least My Unhackable Security System Is Older Than The Cosmos To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

emdie Posted September 26, 2016 Group: Advanced Member Followers: 5 Topic Count: 8 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 146 Content Per Day: 0.05 Reputation: 137 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/18/2016 Status: Offline Share Posted September 26, 2016 Oh yes, as I grew up on a property with horses in the middle of Queensland Australia in the early 1990's, so my time back then was spent outdoors with my dog and horse, riding all over the property. Today I feel like the Net has grabbed my attention almost as if it were an entity unto itself. I don't usually leave home without my mobile phone now either, which was unheard of back then. I no longer have horses so my life changed because of that anyway, but it feels now that I had freedom back then that I wasn't even aware of, when now if people want to get ahold of me they ring my phone or find me online, so there's no where I can hide and get away from everything like I used to be able to do. Of course having the Net has its good points too, but if given the choice I think I'd like to go back to those days where taking time to be out in the bush and marveling at His beautiful Creation was my favourite pastime.

Dare I say it - when I was a little girl we had one of those barrel washing machines that had squeezing rollers attached to the side...one day a pair of blue jeans went through and unfortunately a green tree frog was inside the jeans...it came out flat poor thing? OH MY poor frog. My mom had one of those machines in our garage when I was a little girl. I was always trying to help my mom. She was always afraid I would get my arm caught up in those rollers.

Now that's pretty primitive-the flip phone, come on - move on plz!? Books, you can't beat them, I mean you can literally have a book you love - have an emotional attachment to, which include the covers and all that's in between those covers. It is a different experience researching from book to book, rather than clicking through info on a screen. There are those primary kids now who can't fathom flipping through pages - you need patience, and whose got that (or needs it) when info is literally a click away..? I am an avid reader. Give me a real book with pages any day over a Kindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends from around the world. Some of whom Im quite close to. I would not have known them without the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
