We take electricity for granted. I remember the last ice storm when we had no electricity for 7 days. Nothing worked and I couldn't imagine life without it. I barely remember the time when we had party lines. Every busy body neighbor that had nothing better to do listened to your personal phone calls. Soon as you hung up you could not get on the phone as they were busy gossiping about everything they had heard for the day. Am I glad those days are over.
I have never sent a text on my cell phone and my friends laugh as they text without looking. Trying to keep up with the changing technology is very difficult. I remember mentioning 8-track tapes and my nephew which is only 18 years younger than me said "what is that". 8-track tapes were quickly replaced by cassette tapes and now DVD's. Just wait and soon you will be remembering some type of technology that has came and went so rapidly that is now lost forever.
Is technology good for us? Read my next post. You might be surprised at my answer. Does anyone remember 8-track tapes?
