[BITList] And the beat goes on...

for the majority it is just a passing fad, Hugh
eventually they will tire of constantly updating stuff of little little interest and being informed that their sister just bought some new shoes and 8 ounces of mince meat and a bag of crisps.....................
although I am somewhat surprised that your daughter is not able to control everything in or near their caravan from their cell phone!
10 years ago or more guys on offshore oil rigs in the gulf of mexico were viewing their houses/barns/properties in real time [well, actually it was central standard time {GMT – 6} from old Windows XP pc’s on the rigs.

Tuesday,

Frank,

Some more on the theme of old people and technology. My wife and I spent the day in Inveraray.  Our daughter and her husband had come back from their caravan there on Sunday and couldn't remember if they'd turned this and that off - younger people and technology.  So they asked us to go up and check.  It's only 3 hours by bus.  On the way back we were at the back of the bus, surrounded - more like hemmed in - by (I counted) 13 Ipod type objects and a couple of Kindles.  Fingers were feverishly moving hither and thither on small screens (they think they're big, but they're small), and many had earphones stuck into the ears.  My wife and I were two of the only four not equipped.  Oddly enough, we survived the journey.

I have no objection to people owning these bloody things, but why must they always be attached to them?

Hugh.
