Posted on Fri - May 26, 2006 Signs of the information ageI'm not quite sure where we crossed the divide.
I think for me it was the point where I switched from a Daytimer to a Palm. Up to that point I was still focused on a physical thing. But now, I'm less concerned with an object and more concerned with information. The computer can go down, but I NEED my data backup. It seems a little I know, but I am not
concerned about my computers as long as I can get to my
data.
It didn't used to be that way. There were books. There were photos. There was music. Each could be reproduced, yes, but each was very much physically present. No more. Now it is data. Electron streams. Ideas flowing. Is it a good thing? |
Hello There
This is my no frills blog to cover all the gadgets and gizmos and technology that makes 21st Century life so exciting. Think of it as a messy set of notes that I keep for myself on all sorts of topics. It's really intended for my personal use, but I will explain sometimes as I go along.
My passion is for Macintosh and other Apple products, but I will use others as needed. If my notes and experiences can help or amuse you, so much the better. Categories
