Onrushing technology:
As
I sat transferring photos from camera to computer, after having downloaded tunes
to my iPod over the weekend, I thought I was pretty hot stuff. I really knew
that I was just another dinosaur with a keyboard. It dawned on me how far we
have come in my lifetime.
1) The ballpoint pen wasn’t invented until ’38 (3
years before I was invented), and it didn’t become popular until the mid ‘50s
when Paper Mate put one in everybody’s hands. 2) Unmanned jet planes weren’t
used until WW II, and it was several years later before they had pilots.
3) My first job dealt computers that took up as
much space as a volleyball court and didn’t have near the capability of a Smart
Phone.
4) A decent music collection would fill a closet,
but now it won’t even fill the hand of a 3 year old.
I seem to be about 5 years behind in devices, which
puts me about a century behind in their potential. Sometimes I feel utterly
Stone Age.
Just a couple more weeks!
