What are you thankful for?
A friend sent me this:
So... last week was Thanksgiving. Here is a question:
For which technology are you most thankful?
*Electricity, and electric lights and appliances
*Antibiotics, heart drugs, and other medicines
*Cars, freeways, and gasoline
*Computers
*Cheap, abundant food enabled by agrochemical technologies
*Telecommunications: radio, telephones, television, the Internet
*Other
----------------------
This is an easy one for me, and computers ain't it. For me it's medicine, I had heart surgery when I was 18 months old to correct a birth defect, I might not be here had I been born a decade earlier with the same problem.
Yes, computers are my livelihood, but without them I could still write or do photography or who knows what, I am a fairly clever and reasonably talented guy, after all.
