TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED

Life is imposing and demanding for all of us to be adept at handling today's zooming technology. Time waits for no man, and in my case "I get by with the help of sons Ben and Josh and friends Jeff Nickerson and "Johnson." If knowledge is power then today is the beginning of the rest of our lives. I repeat..."know thyself!"

If you are not growing you are dying. "The only evidence of life is growth."

It all began with the purchase of a Zenith AM/FM radio from Mac's TV in North Brookfield in 1965. The FM-S

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tereo was dazzling for its time. A little neon light would beam when it received a Stereo signal. It was the beginning of an era for me. Our worlds were in black and white right up and down thee line. How boring!

Then, gradually, Living Color gave us the NBC peacock. It proved to be a miracle on 43rd Street. I even got an FM radio for my company car for 50 bucks. I was getting connected to the future. Moon Landing in July of 1969 was truly "One Giant Leap for Mankind." We had no idea what we were in for. No idea....no freeking idea!

Color televisions began to come into our lives. 'Johnson-the Technician' the genius that he is, specialized in replacing picture tubes in color TV sets. The Late Johnny Ryback and Russ Emerson were television technicians. Richie Belcher of Edd Belcher fame was young and observing to it all at Ed Belcher Television in Ware.

All of technologies evolved. First hand-held computers in the early Seventies to advancing computer technologies in the early Eighties. Commodore computers and printers plus the games introduced Ben and Josh to the world they live in today! Man has not sat still. Over the decades of time human evolution is exposing the truw Wonders of the World.

Today, SmartPhones, Tablets, Televisions, PCs. Cordless this and cordless that have replaced wireless. From Morse's Code to Edison's genius and the attendant benefits do we advance. Automobiles are magic. Televisions are magic. Telephones are magic. So what's next? As there is no cure for the common cold will the addiction to technologies be replaced by something like kerosene? LOL.
