F.A.Q.- or a Manifesto

 Seeing as this is my first blog. I'd thought I'd let you know what to expect. 
  • This blog is not about me. I am a secondary character in my own story. I'm reminiscing about my own experiences w/ technology, and describing how that technology shaped my life. 
  • Much of what I have to say will be about the particular technology, where it came from, and what implications it creates for civilization.
  • I will discuss technology in it's broadest sense. You may question what I consider 'technology'. But semantically, it will usually mean 'way of doing things'
  • Discussions will include topics such as sociology, economics, history, psychology, any myriad way that technology has made a personal impact on me.
  • There will be a bit of : "Back in MY day .." kind of statements. But, this is not about whining how the world has changed or is changing. It is observation, critical and objective, that changes have taken place, are taking place, and will continue to occur.
  • Why the title? I'm summing up 50 years of personal history. That should take about a year...
  • Can not promise not to use "I" a lot. Will promise to try to avoid it. Still, better than talking about myself in the third person, right?
  • Why is this an adults only blog? Because I intend to discuss controversial subjects like birth control, pornography, assisted suicide, sex change procedures, "sexting", et. al. that relate to what new technologies have introduced into our world... I don't want children to see it without parental guidance (though considering some parents, maybe THEY need the help more than their kids..).
