Technology has come so far yet the simple things like getting a hand written letter or a telephone car or meeting an old friend for coffee are still on the top of my list. In an era where ever thing is directed to making things easier it is easy to lose track of what's the latest and greatest and what are they going to throw at us next. We are one big testing grounds for high tech gadgetry, with home computers and email and on-line conferences, online banking and plane that can fly themselves, cars that know where they are with gps systems. 50's rock and roll and hot rods were the big thing, and the 60's got consumed by war, the 70's was all about love and drugs, the 80's was all about living better with 2 cars and a house in the suburbs with 2. The big question is what are we going to be known as and with out a doubt the consensus is the computer generation. Flying cars, living walls, teleportation are just a few unreachable goals of the 20th century or are they really that far away. We have mp3's, dvd, digital camera's and scanners all at ours finger tips.
