I often wonder how we lived without some of the conveniences--like no air conditioning. I'm so spoiled now.
I remember the first time I saw an ad for what would become a fax. They showed a document being typed in New York and arriving in LA. We didn't believe it!
Kids I know cannot tell time on an analog face clock, because they were raised on reading digital. I love face clocks because they give you not just the time, but a sense of time--a visual idea of how much has passed, and how much is left, etc. (that is why the actual numbers on face clocks are not that important, I guess). I wonder if the kids' sense of time is different because of this.
