Congrats dear, you made it to the end; well done.
Big breath of fresh air! I may still have minor edits to go, but it's pretty much there. Now, I'm working on my map-making skills and learning some new techniques. The new maps are going to be so awesome!
That'd definitely be great; thumbs up
Sorry, I realized that I answered a totally different comment!!! Hopefully you realized that I was talking about my writing - which really does have me pumped at the moment! now to finish these maps! (Got one done yesterday and another partly done. I still have to find a good tutorial on making city maps.)
This is a great challenge. I enjoyed reading this and I actually remember a time when we didn't have internet. Though it was technically out, my parents didn't start using it at home until the late 90's & my siblings and I weren't allowed to use it. Those were the days random porn was popping up everywhere so...
I should have tagged you in it somewhere - I just got tired of trying to find people for it, lol. Consider yourself tagged, lol. :-)
Heck many of my friends still had 'party lines' for their phones. My dad had been in the police force, so figured that a private line was crucial. And when we weren't home, we weren't home... We did have an answering machine at one point (it had a tape for recording the messages), but we didn't often use it. No mobile/cell phones then... I sound so old!
I remember days with no cell phones, VHS tapes, "rabbit ears", cassette tapes. Kids these days grow up with technology and wouldn't know what the world was without it which is somewhat concerning. I hope parents don't let young kids on technology too early but I see toddlers playing on ipads all the times in waiting rooms it seems like. Sad
Our electronic babysitters are with us all the time now...
Yes, my children have too much time on the electronics (but proper computers, not tablets), but when they get grounded off the electronics for a few days (my elder daughter just had a week) - they start being normal kids again - finding other things to do. Much better! (Though the younger one really does thrive on being able to listen to the scientific programs on YouTube!)
My husband and I were realizing the other day that the humble computer has returned to the realm of the nerd - where it started. (We are unabashed nerds, in that sense! My husband salvages discarded parts at the dump and now have more computers than we could want - he doesn't really know where to stop, lol.) It feels very strange since both of us were at the beginning as well - him more than myself, but I was still in the field much younger than most. (For the day, anyway.)
Thatz good he salvages the parts. I always try to make sure i recycle those correctly so they can be used again
You just planted 0.30 tree(s)!
