A fly in the ointment

By on • ( 41 )

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.

    Face to face is always much better. Technology has taken over the days.

    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

    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…..
