I love a quiet morning coffee without the news. I find that they repeat the news over and over and it drives me nuts.

Reluctantly, I've tried curbing my addiction to Facebook ... well, at least those sensationalist stories that suck me in and raise my blood pressure.

The bad is how many text and drive, pay less attention to family and more to the phone. We forget to put the stuff down and just talk. At work it helps so much unless there is a power outage....then we are stuck.

The USAF once sent me to school. The school was 9 months on the latest Analog computer Burroughs has designed. One month into the school it was redesigned, new books, new teachers. ANALOG IS OUT! You will be schooled on the new Digital (Binary and Bi-quinary)system. That was in 1958. Change was fast even then, I was in the field 6months, then back to school, leaving tubes going transistors. <br />NOW? I don't see how repairmen and technicians keep up with mechanics, toy makers, phones,etc (EVERYTHING) dependent on MINI-technology.<br />News? We are fortunate, my hearing loss put a stop to TV for me and Sherry followed suit. We get too much 'NEWS' HERE on the internet, speaking of which (..... another long one sided conversation on that!).... Yeah I like the analog weather report!jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-49944222898214372282016-12-27T07:55:54.435-06:002016-12-27T07:55:54.435-06:00Stepping back is good.

Most of my reading is done on line though, so rather than reading the morning news first, I take time to read several on line devotions each morning. I used to subscribe to magazines and buy a lot of books, but in my money saving ventures..I found a lot of what I like on line. Maybe not the whole content but many worthwhile articles any way.
