Technologies I have known

When someone talks about Technology we immediately think about computers and cell phones! I know I do. These things have changed the way, not only today's youth but everyone, lives and communicates. I grew up using a typewriter and occasionally being able to use the telephone.
Today we carry our computer in our phone & in our pocket!
That need to be constantly connected. How did anyone ever live before the cell phone or internet?
Motorola RAZR V3 Magenta (T-Mobile)
Integrated digital VGA camera
Mobile Instant Messaging using AOL® Instant MessengerTM
Photo phone book and picture Caller ID
T-Mobile myFaves compatible.

These are the obvious Technologies that have changed the world for better or worse ; that is still to be determined. There are so many other Technologies advancing behind our backs, if we arn't careful they may run us over some day.
Medicine has changed how and when we have children. This has allowed for later marriages and families. Our quality of life and even death are options we can choose.
Changes in publishing...I read text books in college back in 1983. Today text book are online!
Changes in school were teaching was in the class room - today you can earn a degree online.
We are so super connected at all times that we don't socialize as people anymore.We do it in virtual worlds.

WOW how times have changed!
