I ...Gosh, we did touch on many of the same things! I remember the Millennium Bug worries very well. I worked in insurance and we had all sorts of plans in place in case the entire system crashed in 2000. Our systems had been written very early on and had all sorts of patches and bolt on parts added over thirty years so we really had no idea what would happen. There was a "contact tree" with every person on it in the order they would be informed and called it to work! Not sure how I would have got in as the trains don't run on New Years Day even without a Millennium Bug!Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563321520264085024.post-71139630354738471662015-03-23T14:24:27.599+00:002015-03-23T14:24:27.599+00:00Finally got round to my Future post!

I will look forward to reading your posts :-) It is amazing how much has changed and yet how much still hasn't been invented (do you think we'll ever have flying cars?!) xxfindingflapjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827850016714843692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563321520264085024.post-46814881688454598752015-03-20T03:07:47.764+00:002015-03-20T03:07:47.764+00:00I have only just found your blog via Jo's GG p...I have only just found your blog via Jo's GG post... and I am so pleased to have found you.<br />I love this post.... I have so often thought (and talked about) what my both Grandmothers had seen in their 95 and 97 years (they have both passed away over the last couple years)... the changes that have come even in the 50 years I have been on this planet! I started learning to type on a manual typewriter and I still remember the excitement of getting an electric typewriter - then we moved on to a computer terminal and finally a PC, and now I have a small laptop at work that probably doesn't have the firepower that my iPad or phone has!!<br />I also remember being at school aged about 7 and being asked about the year 2000 and how old we would be - 36 in my case.... we had to list all the things we thought about that year and my vivid memory is of all the boys thinking we would have flying cars and how we all thought we might be living on the moon or at least going to other planets by then.... <br />As for the next invention... I am sure that whatever I can think has already been invented!!!<br />I will try and join you in the Tuesday posts... I think that they are a great idea<br />Hugs xxStitching Nonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350627941575473528noreply@blogger.com
