Electronic gadgets

Love them or hate them?

Electronic gadgets, they are not going away. They are here to stay so jump in and get something out of these labour saving devices. Well after the headache of setting them up.

We have got used to TV’s and now there are so many channels but nothing to watch. Unless of course you’re addicted to commercials and soaps?

How many of us now can’t spend a day with using the phone? Gone are those street corner phone boxes, well almost, and now most of us have these communication devices which slip into our pockets and have those irritating rings.

Just keep an eye out for tourists who have one arm outstretched as they stand in front of some statue or building and take a photo of themselves. Our even worse imagine if you were famous someone coming up to you in street putting one arm around your neck and the other outstretched so they can take a photo. And then moments later sending the picture via the internet to U tube or face book so millions can see their new mate.

Is there any one left who hasn’t heard of a gadget called a computer, even not got one?

Have you tried out Skype? You get life pictures from anyone from anywhere around the world, provided they have a computer with Skype. And best of all it costs nothing.

Where would be without the internet? If we didn’t have the internet how would we Google anything?

I suppose we would have to go the library and read a book. Libraries and books still exist don’t they?

Have you tried E-books? Brilliant if you can’t get to the shops or the library or if the book you’re reading isn’t up to much you can open up hundreds more on your E-reader.

But by far the most portable one must be these I-pods and mp3 players. These devices can carry thousands of tunes, and audio books cross reference styles and favourites. Or are you happy with those old black vinyl things?

I remember when my daughter saw a box in garage with my old LPs and 45’s and she said “gosh dad how do you play those CDs?”

She was equally impressed with the quality of sound when I tried them out on my record player, boy did they crackle!
