Technology

Just a tad different from when Dave and I were this age.  These didn't exist back in 1982...oh wait yes they did, only phones were rotary dial with a cord to the handset.....and computers were encyclopedias, newspapers, books, dictionaries, maps and that big amazing thing between your ears.

Sometimes I wonder what we did before cell phones and the internet.  How did we find places to go?  There was no Google Maps or GPS systems.  You just drove around searching for new places I guess.  What happened if you were in the car and needed to call someone before cell phones?  You just waited until you got home to call.  Both before and after technology has it's pros and cons but I think it's kind of neat to be able to say that we experienced each scenario.

It's amazing to think how much has changed in our lifetime.  I wonder what more could possibly be invented but at the same time I'm not naive enough to believe there's nothing else left to invent.  Before the first airplane was invented I'm sure nobody even fathomed people flying through the air someday, same thing with cars and electricity.  I'm excited to see what else gets invented in our lifetime so invent on you amazing, creative, intelligent inventors!!  Thank you for all the technology that exists already because I'm enjoying having the opportunity to even put this blog together.
