Daily Dose of BS Dec 13 computers


Can you make it a week without using any computers at all?  My guess is that most of us can't make it a day, from our cell phones, to our cars, to the tvs we watch to our watches, computers are everywhere.  I know I can't go a day without mine, I am an information junkie, I love that I can go to a computer or my phone or a tablet and go to a site like google and find out pretty much anything I want right at my fingertips, if I want to hear a certain song, watch a clip of tv or read a passage of a book, I could find just about anything I would ever want right there.  My job has come a long way from when I started in 1987, we used to play records and carts and recorded on to a reel to reel deck, we used razor blades almost every day and I will bet if you knew a radio person from before 1992 I will bet that if you asked them they carried a razor blade in their wallet.  (for cutting tape in case you’re wondering)   Now the last two radio groups that I have worked for don’t even have record players, cart machines or reel to reel decks and none play music off cd any longer, it is all computerized.  I bet your job is different now than it was 20 years ago as well.  Here’s to the past, the present and the future.  What could possibly be next?
