A First...

Ok, here is goes...This is my first attempt at publishing a web log, better known as a blog.  Let's see where this goes.

This will be some random reflections and thoughts about anything past, present or future.  I saw a video on Facebook the other day. The person being interviewed was talking about how things had changed from the time he was younger and what the last two generations now have or are exposed to, that his generation did not have or was not exposed to.  It was a very interesting conversation and so I thought it would be kind of fun to use that as a basis to start a blog.

On that premise, what do you have, see or use today that was not available for you as a young child? What is different now from back then?
