I remember being one of the last of my friends families to get a microwave, and vcr. We used to have to wait for things to warm up and had to watch tv when it was on and movies at the theater, we had to sit in one place to be on the phone since it was in the kitchen and attached to a cord…My have things changed. I don’t think I know anyone with out a microwave and a dvd player, and most people have some sort of dvr, I am partial to the TIVO. We carry cell phones have the internet in our pockets, and cars that talk to us. Yet we are still wanting more, faster and better. When will we be satisfied with the technology that we have, when will enough be enough? I can remember when I first tried the internet and how cool it was to be able to have information at my fingertips, and be able to look at what ever it was that I wanted and have the potential to look up anything…I mean anything. It was amazing how fast it seemed…but how soon we get spoiled; we want it faster, bigger and stronger. Could you imagine trying to go online now at the speeds you had when you first started online? I would go nuts, I am as guilty as the next guy wanting new and improved things and technology….hell I want my microwave to heat faster and my tivo to play at 2x speed so it won’t take as long to watch a show so I can get on and do something else…like nap because like the computers in your life sometimes I need a re-boot too.
