<VV> My Plans for Monday

[John David Thomson]

Wow, I had just finished 3rd year university (Mechanical Engineering) in Saskatchewan (say that fast) and was driving back from classes in my 66 Nova and heard it on the AM radio, as I was heading home.  Can't remember where I was when it occured, but do remember the huge significance of those words.  In 40 years we have moved so fast in computing, car fuel management, tv's, cd's, dvd's, the web and so many information trails that to us "older" folks, it is absolutely mind boggling. 

Any of you folks who are 60 and older know that we have been treated to an amazing revolution in technology.  And we have kept up with it and learned to use it.  That is the best part!!  We are able to learn and grow so fast and not be left behind.  Who needs Twitter and the likes when we have VV.

Thanks to all of you for the amazing information that is available to all of us!!

Dave, Calgary
