This little penny-size cutie, can hold 2 Gig of storage!
Recently,
one of my students produced a PowerPoint presentation for the class.
She had it saved to this little penguin flash-drive.
I just marveled at how much it could store in it's tiny little head,
so I quickly took a picture of it with my cellphone.
Then I looked it up on Amazon.com
Look what I found!
More cuties!

This was the computer room at the University at Albany back in the '70's.
My husband, Chris, used to go to computer lab in there.
I remember he used punch cards for his computer programs.
It could address a little more than 2 Gig of storage.
-the same storage as the penny-size flash drive-

This is my son, Jason's new cell phone.
His sunglasses are his background.
J's a funny guy.
It can store up to 32GB of optional memory!
Yesterday, when he chose his new phone, the salesperson at Verizon Wireless
was trying to talk him into the internet service.
She said, "Oh, it's so cheap, only $1 a day,
Everyone can afford an extra dollar a day."
To which Jason replied...Well, since I must sign a two year contract,
at the end of the two years...that would be an extra.....
$730.
"Oh," she said.{Sales pitch over.}

What times we are living in!
Technology is growing exponentially.
Have you seen the "Did You Know?" presentations?
{produced by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod}
They are amazing.
I saw the 2.0 version a few years ago, now there is a 4.0 version.
So much changes in just a couple of years!
So much talk everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs...
Do you Tweet yet?
I only tweet to my little birds in the backyard!
I do love blogging though :D
especially because of
Y O U !
I think I'll make myself a cup o' tea now
and remember
~
that God doesn't change!
His Love and Spirit are
Omnipresent
Omnipotent
Omniscient
"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17

Oh, yes, technology - I am trying to keep up, but I know I'm actually falling behind. Today's children (my grandchildren) seem so much "smarter" then even their parents were at such a young age. But, some things - faith, love, honor - maybe these things don't (or shouldn't) change as drastically. I'll have tea with you now, Maria. Have you baked anything tasty?
ReplyDeletecute =) and wow technology is ever changing our daily lives
ReplyDeleteI am trying my best not to let a new computer get the best of me...I need a break...tea sounds good, Maria!
ReplyDeleteTechnology is very amazing! The kids who are growing up knowing how to use all of these gadgets are even more amazing to me!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a sophomore in high school I had a "Data Processing" class. We went on a field trip to a building that looked like your photo above. We made our own data punched card. I think I still have mine stored in a box somewhere. Makes me feel like I am getting OLD...[:o]
Have a beautiful day!
xoxo Gloria @}~`}~~~
I only tweet to my little birds in the backyard, Maria, I'm smiling ear to ear.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is booming. A few weeks ago we welcomed the Ipad in our home, my little ones are so good with it. They grew into all the new technology things just like that. Easy peasy. Sometimes I wander what their daily life will look like when having children on their own.
These cuties are too adorable, we should all have at least one in our bag!
I'm trying to send you an email, but it keeps coming back. Will keep on trying though.
Much love for a s w e e t Sunday, one whole more day to enjoy before a new great week will start! xxxx
Are you celebrating all weekend long? If so, have a good time! We did a little celebration yesterday, my sister came over with her boyfriend and we have had a fun time! xxxx
Maria, advanced technology is so amazing! I do facebook and blog, but I'm like you, I only tweet to my little bird friends. :=)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for blogging though, it has brought a new sweet diminsion to my life because of people just like you!
Beautiful things in a beautiful world.......do you think........but i do it on my own way .....no twitter.....hahahhah!!...lovely sunday.....love Ria....
ReplyDeleteI remember the computer lab back in our high school in the 70's. Most of us didn't even know what the heck it was! We've come a long way baby!
ReplyDeleteOur cable company wanted me to upgrade my cable to make it WAY, faster! It would only cost $10.00 extra a month. I told the woman that I couldn't imagine it being any faster than it is, and I'm not in that big of a hurry!!
Love Di ♥
Oh how happy I am to realize God does not change or keep up with these techi times...just give me a Bible...a peaceful spot and a loving mind today and I will be one JOYFUL gal.
ReplyDeleteHugs my sweet friend...great post.

Tweeting isn't for me...I think I'll leave that for the birds! lOL I haven't heard from you for quite awhile, hope I haven't said anything to hurt your feelings! :D
ReplyDeleteGreetings my dear,
ReplyDeleteOh Maria, you have no idea how "electronically challenged" I am! It is so pathetic...if it weren't for my son and my husband, I would be lost in this technical age we live in...I am so grateful for our unchangeable Father...dearest, we are truly blessed.
Hope you are well as this flu season is upon us. I have had a tenacious cold that I can't seem to shake...soon I hope. Stay well my sweet friend...xoxo...love Rosie
Thank you for the visit...I checked back and I have no comments from you in a long time..I wonder if somehow they are not coming through? Blogger can be so strange sometimes! I just was missing you and your sweetness...I am glad to know all is well with you. God bless you in all your days that are so full and busy..find time to take care of you! Love ya! ;D
ReplyDeleteDear Maria, I barely know how to handle my blog...confess I am so bad to deal with technology and so...I am aware I need to improve my tech skills in order to help little Aila some time from now!!!

xoxox
Oh!
Can you pur~dee please email me your address!
it is so perplexing and amazing at the
ReplyDeletesame time. there is no shame in
tweeting with the birds. :)
I have trouble keeping up with technolgy as I am not computer savvy. I have however just got a Twitter account to help promote my blog :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts. I so often marvel at the speed of change in technology. It's hard to keep up. I just get comfortable with something and it's outdated. Why can't we just be content, is what I'm wondering? I guess, as a teacher, you need to keep up with what students are doing... those little - forgot what they are called - (see?) storage devices are cute.
