You may be right Thom.
Here's what A.Einstein said about technology: "the price of technology is
trouble."
Ain't it the truth?
I tend to think folks from the past would be in awe of our technology; I
also believe they would pity us, for other reasons.

Scout,

Old Josh would scoff at anything with an electrical power supply. We
forget, in our new world of information, that in Josh's world the dry
cell battery was a pure PITA.

Katy talks about no computer and using a IBM electric and snail mail. I
remember sending out the monthly bill payments by check, envelope and
three cent stamps. All for a cost of less than 50 cents!

We've come a long way but we do pay a terrible monetry price.

What we accept as normal today would definitely be scoff at by past
generations.
I'm not sure scoff is the right word. Pity comes to mind,

Ole Thom
