On the forum tonight, some of us started chatting about this so I have decided to start a thread on it.
It is a subject that fascinates and even bewilders me at times...
I freely admit I am a 'child of the 60's' and our lifestyle was... and still is... a lot different to many of you who post on this forum.
I would love honesty...as anything else wouldn't give me the answer....and its about the use of technology (Smartphones and Tablets) as part of your daily lives and how it has changed since 'my day'
Sooooo...how do you do it?
By IT I mean...
* Having a job
* A family
* A social life....
and combining all of these with todays technology....
Its not just posting on this forum...its the bigger picture that folk nowadays can't go out without a phone...ready to post stuff on social media sites, forums and whatever else is available.
I know it will be 'managing your time to suit society today'....but at the risk of sounding like an old fool...in 'my day' (I hate that expression).... people used to talk, laugh, discuss and debate. face to face...
If anyone takes offence at this post....rest assured I am NOT having a dig...I am fascinated by the whole way society is changing.....

How the heck did ' white' be bleeped out by the forum software ?
Is nice to see you back @Anonymous posting.
Thanks @Anonymous - The word that was bleeped was not in fact "white" but a four letter word that is sometimes used to refer to a male animal or bird. Time someone put a stop to messing about with our beautiful English language. Probably some miserable expert in Political Correctness based in the US of A who thinks he/she knows better!!

Same sentiments from me @Anonymous Lovely to see you back posting....even though you got bleeped (are you sure it was white...as I recall she didn't ride a white horse...she rode another type of horse in the rhyme
However.... I loved your quote about the sun dawning.....

...it is technology.... and how it affects an individuals lifestyle.....
On holiday recently I made extensive use of SatNav (or SatNag as I think some call it) - and how wonderfully good it is. OK it made one or two little "errors" but that was probably because some bureaucrat had failed to upload the latest data for his/her region) and the pronounciation of some place names was amusing but overall it is so very much better than trying to read maps (or rather relying on passengers reading maps). And with the ability to use SatNav and Mobile phone in conjunction with one another it all makes travelling by car so much easier and more enjoyable.
