Although we did not have the medical technology and meds back then that saves lives today. And I must ad that I love my new washing machine that is computerized True MM about the medicals and washing machines? 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?

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. Travelling 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.

Guest Teditis Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I miss having a good rock as a multi-purpose tool and hunting mastodons. I enjoy not having to rub two sticks together in order to light a fire. After the next big solar flare, I look forward to finding good rocks again and hope that I have enough lighters left over... not sure if I'll go hunting again.

I guess my point was that I've never been much of a "technophile". While I do enjoy computers and the internet, I've received most of my education from books... and then from authors who were well-regarded in their field of study. So I miss finding reliable information easily as opposed to sifting through internet blogs and summaries of ideas garnered from a host of unsubstantiated sources. This "wealth" of info at our fingertips isn't so good I think. I do like gaming and coming to social sites like Worthy... interacting with people that I would never meet if not for this trans-global medium. Gaming is more entertaining to many shows on TV. But other than that I don't use the computer for much else... occasionally a word-processor for report writing, which I don't do much anymore. Other technologies like microwave ovens and flat screen TVs have their place but I think that I could live a happy and productive life with any of these things. Smart phones are over my head and I still carry an old style flip-phone. HaHa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..?
