TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY



Hard to fathom its only 20 years ago and now its just down to one machine.

Hard to grasp its far reaching capabilities;  anywhere from trading on the Stock Exchange to ordering food while bingeing on Netflix's  must see.

Hard to grasp the choices of audio listening from Arianda Grande's latest hits; to Tony Robbins podcast on Achievement 

Hard to grasp freedom  granted to a hunted Saudi Arabian girl whose only possession she had was her Iphone and the clothes on her back.

The demands rests at your fingertips.  The stress level is constant.  Forever reaching out to placate our needs.

Not long ago my early morning wake-up was kissing  my husband, starting his day off with love and mine with excitement.  Today, my fingers stretch out ....grasping for the plugged-in Iphone, instead of spooning him for attention.


Not long ago, my morning fitness trapped me at home with Jane Fonda's video; now my GPS tracks my path on Runyon, it even tells me at this pace it would take 55 minutes.

Not long ago, I look up at the sky to see Pan Am flying into Guam packed full of goodies from Stateside.   Now I track all flights globally on my Plane Live for peace of mind that daughter's landed safe.

Ahead is possibility of advanced AI that thinks faster, acts faster, performs better - so  while they perform the hard tasks, let's nurture the neglected soul,  let's learn to give with gratitude.  

When we finally colonize another planet, let's not propagandize religion as faiths but bow to the Sun that revolves that gives life every day. 


When the Sun finally sets and the Moon takes over, let the mystique of  its light shine us out of darkness.


When demands of instant gratification is at the push of your fingertips, think carefully of the  reverberations it causes as pleasure becomes a cruel  trick.
