Quite Amazing

“I’m old enough to remember”…

…that makes a fella sound…old.

But I am. Old enough. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I’m old enough to remember when you sat on a long bus journey and had quite a lot of choices of things to do.

You could look out the window, you could daydream, you could read a book, you could chat with someone, you could eat your sandwiches, you could smoke a cigarette.

You could do all of those things. But what you couldn’t do was write something down, click a button, and send what you had written out to be read, immediately, by the whole of the big wide world. If they happened to be interested.

And, because I'm old enough, that still seems Quite Amazing.
