the passing of time
I am of the age group where I can remember:
Our first (black and white) TV
Not having enough to eat
Two channels on the TV
The first PC
The first colour TV
The Internet
The first 30 megabyte hard disk - it was the size of the boot of my car
etc.
I am now typing on a computer with previously unimaginable amounts of memory, processing power, high resolution graphics screen, writing a blog entry across a high speed internet connection.
I have learned all these things as I got older but did not forsee many of them or even think that much about what the future might be like.
Sitting here now I wonder what my new granddaughter will see in her life? What will be predictable and what things will appear unforseen.
Can you imagine how the future will unfold?
How far ahead can you see clearly?
