Fun With Pictures


Here is a young man I met when I was in London last time.

Technology vs Trendy Grandmother

Technology and I were once really good friends. Electricity, washing machines, refridgerators, airplanes, chordless phones and even fax machines were OK with me. But PC's and mobile phones seem to have a life of their own. I'm OK with the basics of both but don't ask me to send you an SMS or tell you who's call I missed earlier :-) (and it's not my fault that I get a lot of missed calls while shopping).

Long Live Technology
