At the moment I'm loving rewatching the ground breaking series This Life. A double episode every night after Newsnight. Bliss.
The series about young lawyers sharing a house in London was first broadcast in 1994. That's only twelve years ago, thirteen really as it would have been written and filmed the year before I suppose.
What really shocks me though is how much life as changed as far as technology is concerned.
There are no laptops, only Filofaxes.
They play their records, not cds, never mind an iPod!
Miles is the only one with a mobile, but it is one of those brick sized ones.
No online dating, one of them phones an ad through to appear in a magazine personal column.
They argue about whose turn it is do go to the supermarket, no home delivery after shopping online as they would do now.
I wonder how much more things will change for us all in the next twelve years?
