If you look long enough and deep enough into this narrative, you may find Jay & Dee name there.
Yes, we have been very fortunate to have lived and experienced those wonderful times that brought us to where we are today, the digital era.
Now having said that the future is an unknown investment. However, I am sure that it will be as interesting and exciting as the past.
What a wonderful life we have all experienced to date.
Happy days ahead.
Interesting times. I have a relo who lived in three (3) centuries, born in 1798 lived through 1800 and died in 1901. buried at Hopetoun cemetery near Bacchus Marsh Vic.
I think to we were expecting so many new technologies in the 1970s. So looking forward to an easier life.
We were told that we all would only have to work 1 or 2 days a week. A complete & utter failure.
These days we are working for more BS than ever. Retirement is more administration than when I did it for my parents.
Current round of BS, they say AI will make things easier. BS+++ to the extreme. We will be totally imprisoned to technology slaves. At least I will be dead!
Ironically I am finding these days I am going back to a simpler life & where possible have no interest in technology.
I once had at home render farm with many dual Xeon CPU computers, endless computer & 3D problems.
These days I really couldn't be bothered with any technology.
Probably the most difficult part is the increasing number of places that refuse cash.
Ok... for many businesses. But I can't even pay my block of units levy in cash. & I am one of the nut cases that effectively wipe the bums of the renter's & absent owner investors. Who often put in false invoices to claim expenses. They hate my guts at every AGM.
I am even thinking of going back to a dumb phone to avoid the administration.

Well, technology has taken a bit of a turn for the Better? or worse?. Rang my bank today with a simple question.
Being who I am, rather than talk to Olive I opted for a real person. Surprise, surprise, the "person" who answered had a very Australian accent. Very broad. Every time the "person " "spoke", there was a three or four second delay, as if, the person spoke their answer and it was translated into Australian.
When I remarked about this, after suitable delay she said that was because she was in Queensland. Since when has there been a lag in telephone conversations to Queensland or perhaps anywhere on earth with all the fancy tech they now employ?
Sad when you need interpreters for your own language in your own country. In the meantime, the bank is still using cheap untrained labour, to increase profits.

I think it may have been a joke (they're a bit slow up north). Or maybe there is some kind of AI powered profanity filter?

I'm a bit thick dorian. could you please explain what you mean by joke? also what has a profanity filter got to do with it. I am talking about a delay in answering my questions. Is the person on the other end going to speak profanities to me? No, the delays aren't spaced to exclude profanities.

I guess it's not a joke if I have to explain it. Never mind.
