Ok folks, you need your walking boots for this one because its time to get a little muddy as we take a walk in the woods. In todays show Dan & Kay talk about their experiences with the modern world, specifically technology. 

In the last thirty years we seem to have made giant strides in so many areas, from touch screen devices to smart TV's and the continued growth of social media. But how do you find out what works for you and what doesn't? In 'Finding a place for Technology', Dan and Kay share how they have approached this. They talk about what's worked for them and what hasn't, and they try and get to the root of how best to make the most out of the modern world we live in. 

We'll be back on the 15th of November with Episode 10. We're actually making a change to the planned episode on 'Parenthood' which will now move to the 29th of November and Episode 11. In Episode 10 we will be talking 'About Time' and the life changing moment which happened to us at the end of October 2019. We cant wait to share with you what we have discovered!! 

We can also now confirm our schedule to the end of the year:

  • 15th November 'About Time'
  • 29th November 'How do you plan the perfect Christmas?'
  • 13th December 'Parenthood'
  • 26th December 'What are the ingredients to our perfect TV Show'
  • 3rd January 'Getting ready for 2020'

Dan, I got my first computer in 1986/87 and that was before the Internet and the computer was used for games, word processing, graphic making, music and film making. I had an Amiga 1000 at that time and we connected a film-camera to it and inserted effects to the films and text. Later we got a PC and started to use modems to call BBS systems (Bulletin Board Systems) and that was to call up a computer via the phone line and there you could read and send messages to other members on that BBS or others that were connected to it. You could do a live chat with the owner of that BBS (The SysOp). You could upload and Download games, graphics, pictures, documents, and programs. Everything was in DOS so it was down to you to learn to program. And I started mine after a few years helping my then boyfriends BBS. Then we had our first window system and it was the Windows 3.0 or it might have been the 3.1 and that opened up a new world. Then the internet came to us 1996 and it was still via modem but it didn’t take long before the death of the BBS era came along and the Internet took over. And before the touch screens (Sorry Dan) I was making lots of home pages and then it was HTML coding by hand and when Microsoft started msn they also had msn groups and I started my first craft group there and was a member of lots of graphic groups learning pixel graphics and then Yahoo! Had their groups and I became a member in many groups there too and started some there and during this time it was Hotmail that was the mail e-mail account that everyone had. So there were lots to do on the internet before the iPads or iPhones or other touch screen items came along.

I haven't been able to listen to the whole show as yet (it disappeared from itunes after I had only listened to a bit) and have now downloaded Podbean ..... but I remember seeing my friends computer in 2000 and I was like "whats all those little pictures for?" (the icons!) and then though how boring it all was!! hahaha Fast forward and well, it certainly is not boring but too addictive. I use to play Farmville 10 years ago, the original one, and yes got addicted. Then I stopped and life resumed (and my husband was so much happier... he has never been sucked into the technology). Now, I have found Farmville 2 and OMG!!! I am sucked in again. :( I feel that I have been so caught up in the whole new-ness of the game and the rush to finish crops and such, for the first time last night I played that instead of reading my book before bed. Its like cocaine. I am deleting the app! IG and FB don't suck me in. I use it for business, scroll quickly but get bored quickly too. Its those games that get to me. Yes, Dan you are right. When waiting in a Drs room or waiting for something to finish boiling etc, pick up the knitting not the phone!! Even menial dishcloths can be knit while cooking!
