“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.”
—Isaac Asimov
What technological change has most affected your life?
Most and foremost, the computer, even though I rebelled against it when I was “given one” at work. It replaced almost all of my work and without any previous help or training. I still wonder how I survived. However, nine months into retirement, I “birthed” my own first computer and gradually live with it now, thankfully. I groaned, too, at the advent of TV until a family member gave me one and kept it for me while I was in the Peace Corps Peru, I left it behind and was basically out of communication using either of these for two years. And to mention another, come to think of it. the cell phone! Well, I have adapted somewhat to each, step by step. I suppose that driverless cars will be the next on the horizon.
