The Last 50 years
My wife and I were talking about our grandpas the other day
and how much change they must have seen in their lifetime. I thought about it and
I believe the last 50 years may have given us more change than the 50 years
before that
- GPS (Can you imagine telling a 20-something to read a map?)
- TV Remote control (My dad used to call his “Burk”)
- Intermittent windshield wipers. (Before this, they were either on or off)
- Smoke detectors (before these, people just died)
- Digital Cameras (you had to go to the drug store to see your pictures)
- Microwave (maybe if you were rich in 1975)
- Electronic payments /ATM’s (cash, what a novel idea)
- Cell Phones
- Personal Computers
- THE INTERNET (Probably the biggest game changer)
