Its 3am and Ive been working since I got in from the office. But i was just marvelling at the wonders of modern technology and what a wonderful age we live in.
Im 40 and old enough to remember learning to type on golf ball typewriters, then the sinclair computers, BBC Basic, the Amstrad 1512, Brother Thermal Typewriters etc etc. I thought we were pretty tech'd up then but lookin at what Ive been doing this evening with various things online is another league altogether.
Forget the problems of modern living, modern society etc for a second and just reflect on the amazing technology and what we can do. I'm no techy and dont understand a vast amount but I'm watching something on BTVision that was on on Wednesday (ok, ok its Waterloo Road - dont take the piss) and marvelling at just being able to recall a programme at my leisure to name and thinking back to the telly we had in our living room as a child without a remote control and then a new Remote Control telly, with the remote connected to the telly with a lead! hehe
Without a doubt I think the most amazing bit of kit has got to be the iphone. I cant remember if my first mobile was the handset on the brick charger or a sony phone with a red amber and green light instead of a display and a contract with BTCellnet (remember them?). The iphone is just amazing and those who have not got one, you dont know what you're missing!
One down side to writing this particular piece is that I've suddently realised how old I bloody well sound.............
