Old technology

I was blessed enough to overhear a conversation yesterday at gym between two much older members of the health club. It was in the change rooms and they were busy changing to go for a shower. The one standing was showing the one sitting on the bench the blue tooth ear piece for his cell phone and the conversation went as follows:

BOB: "and you put this little piece in your ear, and it automatically answers the phone and you can hear them loud and clear and look how small this is..."

MIKE: after a long pause....."that is unbelievable. You know, if I had told my dad all those years ago what we would be doing with the phone, he would have thought we were mad."

BOB: "Its like this skype thing. Speaking to people, over a computer, in other countries for almost nothing."

The conversation then went on to service providers for Internet, but it made me smile and appreciate that not every single person in the world uses the "new age" computer stuff and gadgets. We as younger members of society are very privileged to know about this, and having grown up with it, know exactly how things work.

Don't take your knowledge of ANYTHING for granted...
