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 ร 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.
