When I was young...

[london1967]

I realise that I'm probably not old enough to start sentences with "when I was young"... but when I was young(er) things used to be more exciting.

 

When I was young, I used to watch "Space: 1999" and fantasize about space travel. The year 2000 felt as remote as Alpha Centauri and I pinned all sorts of optimistic and unrealistic expectations on that milestone.

 

Technology used to be exciting. I remember the first time I saw a computer: I just couldn't believe my eyes! I started a love affair with them that lasted for years.

 

But now well PCs and software are a pain and shiny new gadgets only command my attention for a few moments. 

 

Perhaps it's time to shut down, go for a walk or read a book?
