Here is a good perspective on the aging process.
I fully agree Tampa. Hallmark Channel is a free channel on basic cable and to put this show on in family hour is another step in how our society has moved forward. Much as President Biden signing the Marriage Equality Bill into law this week, whereas former Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama initially only took small steps in moving toward full equality of sexes, shows how far we’ve come in the last few decades.

That all sounds pretty neat. The benefits of it sound wonderful. Though I must say I am a little distrustful of some of the voice activated devices which can potentially be used to eavesdrop on our conversations.I have been very slow to current technology being born in the 1950’s and coming of age in the 1960’s. I was slow to understand the internet and getting my first computer in 2000. In fact I didn’t even have a cell phone until 2004, when I needed one for my new job of being an outside salesman, and my first iPhone a couple of years ago.
But the more technology I discover the more I love it as it can help make life easier and more enjoyable. My newest “toy” is the Amazon dot which I’ve had for a few months now. It controls my lights and I threw away my radios as I can ask Alexa to turn on my favorite radio stations and play my favorite music as well as set alarms to wake up in the morning or for my washer and dryer or cooking too. Much as with my iPhone I still have a lot to learn with both, but I m loving modern technology.

I stay of social media such as Twitter & Facebook . The latter just to respond to family. I also refuse to use Clouds. I do all my storage on my enormous space on my hard drives. In addition I spend a goodly amount on keeping me spam & hack free and it has kept me free of such problems.That all sounds pretty neat. The benefits of it sound wonderful. Though I must say I am a little distrustful of some of the voice activated devices which can potentially be used to eavesdrop on our conversations.
