Let's go to Les's from Timeout for Mom and chat - don't forget to get your coffee before heading over!
What Was, or What's to Be?: If you had the choice of
going back in the past to a specific time in history, OR, if you could
travel ahead into the future (you are coming back to present, don't
worry) --- which would you choose?
I believe I would travel ahead - just to see what kinds of technologies the future holds. I remember when I was a kid watching the cartoon "The Jetsons" and laughing about the phones - where you could actually see the person on the other end. Isn't that what Skype is? It amazes me the strides we have made in just my lifetime. I can remember when we got our first color TV. Better yet, I can remember when they put a bathroom in my grandmother's house! Makes me wonder if we'll all be zipping around in little "flying cars" in the future - wouldn't that be awesome!
Definitely a trip to the past for just one day.
ReplyDeleteSkype - that is so so true!! I was actually just thinking about that when talking with Left Brain who is away: that we can talk face to face in Real Time. Or even that a text is like real time conversation. amazing.
ReplyDeleteFlying cars would be cool. or jet packs! I see some guy in Europe is working on that.
LOL! I'd love to zip around in a flying car. That would drastically reduce my commute time! As for me, we didn't get a dishwasher or microwave in our home till about 1984. And I remember it was a huge, HUGE deal to get a phone in my bedroom my senior year :) Of course, many kids had already had that way before me (we were always a little bit behind on everything), but I think my own kids would not know what to do with themselves without today's electronics.
