We live in a fast technological changing world today and that always has some trade offs. Today Lilith came to mind and I began to recall some of the fun things I use to be able to do that just can't happen today.

Electronic communication has changed and improved things so very much in the last few decades but at a price. When one of the most expedient and personal methods of communicating was with a telegram, I loved sending one to special people saying "Please Disregard First Telegram"

With online shopping we've now almost come full circle with not purchasing from actual local brick & mortar stores. There was a time when you could pick up the big Sears & Roebuck catalog and order just about anything. One of my favorite things was to go to the farm section where you could buy just about any domesticated animal from pigs and chickens to cows and ponies. I could fill out the order form, get a money order and have a two pounds (approx: 1,500) box of BEES delivered by parcel-post to that special friend.

So what fun things have you had to trade off with the advancement of technology?
