"Forever Changes" or "The future ain't what it used to be"

Borowing my title from a title song of the late 60's "The Love Group" a band that nobody ever heard of and the great 20-21st Century Philospher, Yogi Berra.

I should say, that "Technology Changes" and.....We'll... Yogi said it best. I cannot rephrase it effectively.

Maybe I can say that its Amorphic, a shape shifter or it has a "quantum(ness)", Its there but it ain't."Nah! Too Ephermeral...Whatever that means,,,,,sounds good!

I was blessed to be an adult as computers and the internet developed and evolved. There was a time that AOL was the monster, the market leader.....IBM had their own icon based operating system and Apple was still a twig in the woods. Yeah! I even learned "Basic", though it did not do me much good. I was just toying around with the new stuff....Besides, I could never get past level 3 on Super Mario Brothers. My thumbs still hurt!

After work, late at night,I discovered that AOL provided a course on HTML  to learn how to deveolp a website, which I finally accomplished after a couple of months. OK, All's fun and exciting, then things started to change...Microsoft made a deal with IBM ( Billy's mom was on the Board of Directors), and Windows made things a bit easier. WOW! We could IM each other,,,,,that became a pain! You're on the computer and you have to still hide! And eMail! How cool was that? " You have mail"....Jeez! Shut UP Already!

Jumping a decade or two forward...we are now assulted by FACEBOOK! Which pretty much deleted MySpace and 20 or so other sites that offered "blog like" capabilities. I gotta be honest! I'm getting sick of Facebook,,,,I mean even my plumber has a facebook page!

Imagine! You toilet has its own facebook page. This is degenrative evolution..

When Yogi was asked about a restaurant that he liked, he responded: "OH that place is so popular, that nobody goes there anymore."  This is the FATE of FaceBook....and Twitter and any other new kid on the block. They'll all get so popular that, We will always be on the lookout for something NEW! Besides,I hate waiting on lines...Hey, lets try that new Italian place!
