now you sound like my father, but it is my generation at the helm so to speak. Pages change, chapters end, new chapters start but in the end generations vary. Technology has a lot to do with this, my 83 year old mother on facebook is amazing but not typical. But I think about the microwave oven or Radar Range as it was originally known as around my town. Even in the 80s the microwave was still more on the luxury side than the need side. Now it's as important as a refrigerator, we just got a new one because our old one was ill. It was important to replace it before it died so we wouldn't go without.redshift factor wrote:But what about when the whole world is run by them?

Generations to come will bring inventions that we can't even see now that we will wonder how we ever got along without it. But I still hate cell phones
