The most important invention in your lifetime is…
The internet. Yes, it has its problems but it has changed how we live and hopefully for the better. Although a part of me is nostalgic for the days when information wasn’t at our fingertips.
I remember looking up information in the encyclopedias we had or going to the library. I was excited when we got the year in review book, it had all kind of new information. We traveled cross country with the triptik books from AAA and I bought the Thomas Guide when I moved to San Diego. We were perhaps more resourceful and more patient. There was excitement when a book, magazine or catalog was released. We ran to the mail to see what came, perhaps the item we purchased from a catalog.
Despite the nostalgia I love the internet. As an introvert, I am more comfortable with less human interaction and I explore more. I can look things up at odd times, though I really try not to look at my phone when I’m in bed. When watching television I immediately go to IMDB- one of the top 3 websites IMHO. Trip planning is incredibly easy.
What will they think of next?
