On my journey into the newer technology... I received a note from a high school friend who welcomed me to the "wireless world"...and commented that he was amazed at the changes we could still make in our mid-50's...at first I was going to write back with something snarky/funny...like:
"Are you talking to ME? Mid 50's? Why I just turned 21 on my last birthday!" (with 34 years of experience of course...lol...)
But instead got to thinking...I was 5 when my parents, sister and I moved to the Space Coast...(which at that time was JUST becoming the "Space Coast")...we had a black and white TV...just barely...that used rabbit ear antenna and only got 3 channels if we were lucky...a phone that was connected to the wall...though we had sent up a monkey...man had not yet gone up in space...let alone to the moon...and if we wanted to listen to music not on a record player...we had to sit in the car or needed a transister radio...wow...think of the changes that have happened since then...so my reply was instead:
"lol...yes...think of all that's happened since we were 5...by the time we're 90 we'll be able to think ourselves somewhere...lol..."
Themore I thought about it the more I began to wonder just how long it would take? I sure would like to see Greece this afternoon...and perhaps have dinner atop the Space Needle in Seattle...and wake up on a tropical island and swim in a clear ocean...and visit loved ones any time I wish...just by thinking myself there...
"Beam me up, Scottie...and anywhere else I choose to go!"
