As I think back to years past, listening to stories of my grandparents and parents about the daily life that they led, I find myself thinking about how much life has changed since I was born back in the 1950′s. I marvel at how we have taken for granted such miraculous technological advances such as internet broadband satellite. I can remember as a child being so excited when my parents brought our first television into the house – a black and white tube monstrosity that we loved to sit in front of and watch the Mickey Mouse club and Jackie Gleason.
I remember learning how to type with a manual typewriter – we only had one electric typewriter in our class! To have progressed this far in our lifetime alone is mind boggling!
In today’s world, we use the Internet for so many things that we used to do manually. We use it for shopping, for communication, paying bills, doing research, playing bames, watching television and movies. We love watching videos from youtube, and buying great bargains from Ebay! Whenever we lose electricity at our house the entire house is “up in arms” because the Internet goes out too! It’s amazing how the Internet can be accessed from almost anywhere in the world – isn’t technology wonderful!
