We went from not havin...Yeah, I am that generation. We went from not having Interstate Highways to the Information Highway in my lifetime. I went from having one TV for picture and another stacked on top for sound to a situation where next year my perfectly good TV won't work anymore because it is not digital. I went from LP, to 8track, to cassette, to CD, to MP3 and I am still listening to the same music. So I have had to buy the same albums over and over.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-10785741240057684172008-02-13T08:37:00.000-08:002008-02-13T08:37:00.000-08:00This post was so funny!!

You must be a baby boomer ..sure hope that I have not offended you by assuming..but I'm one and I feel the same as you! <BR/>Blogging and posting photos and downloading and making photo mosaics for my blog is a ((((HUGE)))) dive into the techy world for me!! I don't even know how to text message in fact I don't know how to change the phone numbers on my dated cell phone! Why upgrade when all I use it for is emergencies when I'm alone in my car!!Why do people have to talk on their cell phones during a meal in a restaurant!!I don't want to learn all this new techy age stuff<BR/>but I sure feel dumb when my 4 year old grandaughter can play games on the PC on the Disney site!!<BR/>Loved reading this post and I am so glad that you stopped my blog and made a comment!! See you again as I love your ramblings and sense of humor!! :)NGNaturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-91833480193446126552008-02-12T20:34:00.000-08:002008-02-12T20:34:00.000-08:00I was laughing so hard by the time i got to the ca...I was laughing so hard by the time i got to the cartoons about fair and balanced and the "couch potato".
