There seems to be some new software program, gadget or “thingamabob” coming out every day in this ever changing era of technological breakthroughs. To me, technology is kind of like a coffee pot. For instance, I use to be excited about the coffee pots you could buy that ground your coffee and brewed it on command at the touch of a button. All you had to do was take it out of the box, set it up and program it so it did it’s thing at just the right time so you could wake up to a hot cup of coffee. Now they have the one cup wonders where all you have to do is pop a disc or K-cup or pod (in every flavor and beverage choice imaginable) in the dispenser and brew a quick cup in 30-60 seconds.
