Hey, so did you guys know that this past week was the 60th anniversary of the Floppy disk? No, well good I had no idea either. Honestly I don’t remember the last time I thought about a floppy disk or last used one. I'm pretty sure I only used them once before I got a thumb drive. I was like mom, what is this? I think that is when she knew how old she really was. It’s crazy to think how far we have in terms of technology and how fast we keep moving. It scares me to think about what technology will look like in just 20 years, because we are constantly creating new gadgets. I really want an iPhone but I think to myself why get one now, because as soon as you buy it the iPhone 10 will be out and it will be a little chip that you stick in your ear and you communicate telepathically. I’m going to feel so old when I have kids and they ask me about ipods, and books where you actually have to flip the page yourself. 

 It’s still cool to think back to that time when floppy disks were the hot new thing on the market. It helps me appreciate the technology we have now. I look forward to what new technology is on the horizon. Except movie players; can we just agree to stop at Blu-ray, because I really don’t want to have to start my Disney collection over again? I can't, I just can't.
