Shared on Fri, 04/20/2007 - 11:51 I begin to think what an incredible age we live in and then I think I'm showing my age. I probably a little older than most of you. as they say around here 'Im so old I was on the planning comission for dirt. But back to the subject. i'm old even not to take the internet, and by the garace thereof on-line game play, cell phones, and a million other, for granted, and other advances i'm not going to sit here and name that have occurred since i was a kid. These thing were sci-fi when i was growing up. Not to mention even things like cloning, face transplants,, gene-mapping, pre-natal surgery.These advancements are amazing, if you think not that many decades have passed since the invention of penicillin and anesthetics.
The other night I played on-line with 3 or 4 people from England and one or two from Scotland, it wasn't until after the game the idea blew me away. You see i remeber when rotarty dial phones were the only phones and when everybody had black and white tvs which received 3 to 4 channels 3,4, 11, 13 , 53. So much progress in such little time. Its real hard to get your head around it. My son works for Sony-Ericsson producing new cell phone and the work he does just blows me away. The last phone he produced had a built-in ped-a-meter, a song sampler that would go on line and tell you the song title, artist,and date and album it was released on.
Just some thoughts an oldster wanted to share. I think I've shown my age so much i need a nap. Thanks for listen to the rants of an old grey beard.
