what did we do before computers??

[lillypad]

Just sat here reading some views passing time away and a thought just came into my head, "what did we do before computers". I can't remember! Same with mobile phones how did we keep in contact with everyone?


Could anyone live without them now? I don't think i could?!?

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes...it was TV, Radio, listening to records, reading, knitting......I used to sew and make my daughters clothes...No clothes in Asda then.....I read a lot (and still do) home cooking, cleaning up walking the dog........those were the things that took up my leisure time.

Did a lot of grizzley bear wrassling, moose chasing, baby seal bashing, fishing for muskies, clearing land to plant corn and squash. Typical wilderness pursuits. I do seem to remember that in a world without computers and cell phones we did damn well.

So didnt go hungry and dont now as the cell phone is handy to phone a takeaway to arrive as you return from the pub.

I used to do a lot of creative things like painting and model making.

Indeed the cell phone is a wonderful thing ... an even better cooking implement than the microwave ... much better to have hot delivered pizza than to nuke the frozen stuff. Trouble is you can get more topping onto the keyboard than you can get into your gut.

Stay away from the keyboard unless bragging what a great pizza yuou are having to make others jealous. They might be havin chips and curry sauce and that would be bad for a keyboard.
