Remember when...........
-Wireless......was the large cabinet in the corner of the loungeroom that the family gathered around to hear the latest world news.
-Chat Room.........a roomful of ladies catching up with the latest gossip over a cuppa and a sandwich
-Blackberry.........those luscious berries scavenged from roadsides and made into delicious jam
-Spam............something from a can that was used as a sandwich filling.
Mention these terms today and they have a completely different connotation related to technology. Even though I often feel like a complete dinosaur where technology is concerned these days (hence the blog name), whether we like it or not it has certainly had a big impact on life as we know it today. From my day to day work point of view, computers and the internet have probably had the biggest impact, allowing us as library staff to deal with customer queries, etc in a fast, professional way.
(Doesn't it feel strange when the computer software crashes, and we have to revert to pen and paper to record customer transactions!)
