once upon a time
a mere decade ago
eye to eye, face to face
the kitchen table
a gathering place
back to our roots
life à la carte
simpler times
memories of yonder
no selfies no bot chats!
no artificial intelligence
where is Alexa?
Can I google it?
questions for the ages

I enjoyed encyclopedias, Microfiche and paper maps. There may be a need for them again, if things go “poof” for a time.

So true. Everything is in a cloud somewhere and we’re hoping it is safe. IMO, there is still can be a need for paper backup just in case. I enjoy a real newspaper delivered to my door even if the news is fake. Lol.

Yep, I remember the days of using encyclopedias. Today many of these kids don’t even know that there are paper books. Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to those days. But I’d miss my laptop. LOL

Yes, Chris, I would miss my laptop, too! Especially for maintaining records and handling finances.

So many things have passed out of usefulness and more are forever following them. I’m wondering how long it is going to take to get to old ladies…..
