Bill, good story. Ahhh, the good ole days. Well, maybe they
weren't so good after all. LOL! Another perspective,
jet airliner travel is about 50 years old, commercial
television is about 55 years old, color television
broadcasting is about 45 years old, commercial internet as we
know it is about 15 years old, cable tv is about 40 years old,
cell phones are about 20 years old, home computers are about
20 years old, interstate highways are about 50 years old...
man do I feel old.....but it has been exciting to watch the
world change right before our eyes.
Another nice little factoid: Between 1900 and 1940 the
accumulated knowledge of mankind doubled.
Between 1940 and 1960 it doubled again. It has doubled
every 10 years since. |
