Self-fitting kitchens, maybe? 

Now there's a thought

 

I really am boring everyone with this aren't I? - I know because I'm boring myself.

 

My little Jack (aged 4) was here yesterday and we were stuck in one room surrounded by boxes for yet another day - I said to him

 

'Oh Jack - I hope the kitchen will be all finished for the weekend don't you?.

 

he said

 

'Yes Nanny - it's getting boring now isn't it?'

I still havn't got over VCRs, and they have been and gone now.

Computers will become self aware and take over their own decision making.

 

They will realise humans are not the best way to maintain optimum processing.

 

Humans will be removed from the equation by computers launching military strikes against those that try to stop them.

 

ITS JUDGEMENT DAY !!!!!

OMG ...........i can still remember the excitement of getting our first VCR. Mind you I was never more made up than when I got my first phone (land line) - it was when I got married and moved into my first house. At home we always had to go to the top of the road to the phone box.

When I was a kid, I used to find it strange that my grandparents couldn't operate their VCR - after all, it was simple enough to do! Many years on, I now find myself in a similar situation of needing my kids to repeatedly explain new fangled techie things as I can't get to grips with it all 

Yep - I feel like that. I kind of feel that I'm standing still - My son nags me to move on to i Pads and i Phones etc but I can't get on with them. Then again - I haven't really tried - I'm happy with what I've got TBH.

I was amazed as a child as i thought my grandma could pause the TV!! As i got older i realised she had videos... but look now... we can actually pause TV!

I KNOW!!! I forget to use it though and curse like mad if someone rings while I'm watching something. I'm getting a bit better at it but most of the time I simply forget!

 

i'm like Sans grand parents

Can we?   I'm further behind the times than I thought . 

 

I borrowed my son's smartphone thing to make a call. What a palaver! I had to get him to dial then it was an automated switchboard and I was in a panic because there were no buttons on a pad for me to push to choose my option 

Sounds like your like me, Soozy, but loads better 

 

*is impressed with Soozy's cleverness*

Not at all San - your experience on the smartphone sounds exactly like me. My kids pass their phones over for me to look at a pic and I just lightly tough it and everything flies off into space. I'm dead proud that I can actually text (well if I had a phone I could - I put my last one through the washing machine in about October and find I can manage quite well without it).

 

Edited to say though I'm a bit jealous that I can't join in the scrabble games with other FM's on here.

it's all magic  you know...

 

 forces are at work...

 

save yourselves first..

 

if there's any room left we can save renton too...

 

 

You can tell how bored I am can't you?

I quite often wonder the same Sooz, technology has advanced so rapidly in a short amount of time. A tele-porting car would be very handy, I would use it a lot

Would be fab wouldn't it? Or foo powder could be good too.

Man will invent himself.

I bet we'll have 3d images of people when we skype etc...just like in Star Wars when R2D2 plays the footage of princess leia 'help me obi wan kenobi, you're my only hope'

I remember when I got a VCR.. I was programming it to record something and my mother was visiting at the time. . she went ooooh it has a clock too

Was it right muckle thing that loaded the tapes from the top?

 

I remember my Dad having an eight track in his car and we all thought it was the business.   He only god rid of it in the last few years when they moved to a smaller house.

nah it was a front loader on rental from DER once the rental prices had gone down a lot. .

Jackson, I'm not quite sure why that is so funny, but I'm sitting here chortling away!
