Showing My Age
Posted in: Blog by Noel H on July 14, 2009
Yes, those crazy kids are at it again. Spending all their time in front of the boob tube… I mean… You Tube. I’ll tell you what, back in my day we watched real TV, on real television screens. You sat down and watched whatever the networks served you, and you liked it. And when the commercials came on you watched them as a courtesy to those nice people who put in the time and money to remind you to buy their stuff. Boy do I miss the late 1990’s.
Do you ever feel like technology is making you old before your time? Trust me, you’re not alone. I will be turning turning 34 this December (64 in tech years), but I’m what they would typically call a “late adapter”. This is not always a bad thing, as I recall that blank compact discs – or CDs if you will – used to cost roughly $5.00 a piece, and are now as cheap and disposable as a box of matches. MP3 players are headed the same way.
In my long-winded, round-about way, what I’m trying to say is that there is a lot happening around us and it’s hard to keep up. So what I have decided to do is do a little research (as the kids like to say “Wikipedia rocks!”) and from time to time I will put a short description of some new technologies that are so often referred to by some acronym or other. If you have ideas and insights to share feel free to start a discussion in the comments section below, or tweet about it.
