Not in the mood for focusing on much today. Leftovers and conversation is as far as I’m venturing today. .
12 things that have gone obsolete this decade.
- My first dial up was a 2400 baud modem. 1993. No internet. No email. Compuserve and Usenet was the big thing then.
- First CD player in 1987. First song I ever listened to on my new Kenwood stereo was U2′s “Where The Streets Have No Name”. It was amazing – blew me away. No snap, crackle and pop from records that this clutz tried her hardest to take care of. CD’s were everything I’d hoped they would be – and relatively clutz-proof too.
My office could not function without faxes. It has been acceptable in the court system to serve by facsimile.
CDs are not part of my past so I am with you @janine. I have tons of them. I am not past the IPOD generation. I believe it is a pain to have to record to get what you want. Not that this is a bad thing, it just devotes more time to technical issues. In one way I want to get away from the technical world and in another I crave being up-to-date and with the times.
Rather focus on the balance of life.
Balance. “Stop the chit-chatter in your brain” says Chopra. So less chit-chatter. Meditate and stay in the space between your thoughts… also from Chopra.
Being more spiritual would be in tune with the times. With that thought I want to say Peace of on This Earth amongst all humans of any race! Let us learn from our differences and love our commonness. We are not so different!
I’m with Janine on CD’s! I have lots of them. Most offices now have combo machines with phone, fax, printer, copier and scanner. Fax will always be with us as a way to convert hardcopy easily to other locations. I must admit that email has replaced letters for me. I am looking into programs that allow me to dress up my emails. I will have to see what they are like! I would like to find a way to make them more personable. I also still have a landline phone as it is the basis of my AT&T service and my DISH and my internet modem both work off of it so no way to get rid of that. As for catalogs and encyclopedias, I must admit that the internet and Encarta have done away with those for me. The vastness of what is available is daunting and presents the greatest challenge of our age….discriminating intelligence and the ethics and morality and wisdom to apply it well without causing greater harm in our world. Welcome 2010! Let’s hope we can make it a better year!
