How Often Should My 18 Week Old Feed

the Age of Dinosaurs

today to reflect on the incredible evolution technology from a few years now. E 'became part of our everyday life, a large number of objects, tools and appliances of every style and utility. We think that the first GSM mobile phones in 1987? I am 24 years that came into our lives! Yet many young men and children do not know what it means to "wait" call home, or "frees up the phone!" or even hear the heavy pants pocket for coins the telephone booth. The phone is a subject so familiar that even children who can not yet talk already know how to use it!
I have almost 35 years and yet sometimes, talking to a twenty, I feel like a dinosaur. At school I had to do internet searches. I used the 30-volume encyclopedia and pictures cut from magazines of the mother. And how many magazines I browse for an image relating to the giraffe, the Greeks or the Middle Ages?! Then once unearthed the right to cut out with nail scissors (the ones with the rounded point we had only those who had money to spend unnecessarily) and pasted on the book with glue stick. But I knew what was still the Coccoina!

And the dishwasher? What a wonderful invention that .. I remember that before the advent of the meal you had just finished doing the dishes ("otherwise you encrust!") And it was a ritual that you could not escape or delay. Just after the apple you get to the sink did you fumantine sauce and detergent brr .. if you do not come back up everything was a fortune.

I even remember the first phase of the remote control. At home we had one TV in black and white will have had 15 yes and no. "It was orange plastic (very seventies), deeper than the top, with the antenna attached dual antennas on the type of butterflies and to turn the channels had to get up, get closer and turn a black knob that clicks on a different channel. Crazy, when I think now I wonder how it was possible not sclera. Then came the TV new, large, in color. Will have been 22 inches but I think the cinema. And the colors ... while Dad tuning in rustling black and white, a color image sometimes appeared and I jumped for joy, shouting "LOOK LOOK! Watch is red!". Beautiful moment.
And the CD? It seems that we did not .. but he is almost always already surpassed by the USB portable hard drives. And yet ... and yet there was something before the CD ..
The floppy disk, and before that soft, and even before the tape and the cassette, and vinyl. I remember I used to rewind the tape a bic pen. I slipped in one of the two little holes and I could rotate as the rattle of wood. So I did not use the batteries in the walkman. There was not IPod. Eeee .. I'm a nostalgic sometimes.
