Kids these days don't know what it used to be like..

No Jenny, they certainly have no idea at all. I remember when we had Dial up, e.mail and B B S,
which means Bulletin Board Services, Skype arrived in 1995 for typing only

I didn't have a computer until about 9 years ago John and I had dial up.

The kids now have very different social and mental and communal pressures to those WE had.. as we did from those our parents have.

Thats far too easily forgotten.

Each generation has its pleasures.. and its crosses to bear.

Oh yes there are many things that youngsters nowadays have to learn, that we never had and its something that I'm so glad of - very complicated. However it must be lovely the way technology is going as to what gems are on their way for us to find out about

Despite now having 'friend' worldwide, sometimes I prefer the 'old' days. Recently in work the whole email system crashed. What this meant was that people actually had to leave their office and talk to someone, or possibly phone and talk to them. What a nice morning that was :)

Yes that sounds great Fran - there is something to say for actually talking to each other than sending an e-mail.

things change quickly

Yes they do but my brain doesn't catch up with them

I'm with Micky on that assessment! As fast as times have changed in the last 20 years, I shudder to think what the next 20 years may look like, lol! I'm beginning to understand how someone from the early 20th century must have felt like to start their lives traveling in the horse and buggy and end it riding a jet plane! :-O
