It's so hard to not to take things for granted. It's so easy sometimes to forget how things were "back in the day." Technology has changed so much in in such a short time. I can remember back in the 1970s listening to 8 track tapes and Vinyl records. Then, it was on the the 80s and cassette tapes. I had such a great time recording music mixes on tape for myself and my friends. I used to have a black and white TV set that had rabbit ears with foil paper on them. This tv would look great for most of the time. However, there were times when the screen would go blank. The only thing I could do to get back the picture was to hit it on either side and the picture would return. I always get a chuckle when I think about that tv. But, you know what? That was my tv. And, whatever short comings it had I could deal with it because it was all mine.Fast forward to now, 2012. Wow, I could never imagine watching tv on a 13 inch black and white. Or, enjoying my music primarily via vinyl, 8 track or cassette. Now, to put a mix together it simply takes cutting and pasting and bam, you've got a mix. Technology is so very cool and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I can only wonder what is on the horizon. How antiquated with mp3s be in 30 years? How funny will the iPad look in 50 years from now? Time will tell, but for now this is what's cool so enjoy it I will and embrace the new tech as it evolves.
