What About The Changes You Don't See ?

Updated on May 20, 2011

They Happen So Slowly

We have learned to deal with new experiences since the day we were born

Those old bulky baby carriages have become sleek and fashionable

Baby seats a neccessity

Seat belts the law

Bike helmets a good idea

Some changes we notice like when someone paints a room

They are drastic and are soon recognized

Other changes over time may go unnoticed

They happen so gradual only the keenest eye can see

When cell phones came around and soon they would change everything we ever knew

From leaving a message to texting

For now the information age has expanded and now boomed

I for one have been dragging my feet

The use of the computer via myspace,facebook and all those computer games

E-mailing and instant messaging

The world is changing and sometimes we don't notice

We get busy with our own lives and doing the things that we feel we have to do

I remember when beepers were big

I was working on my own business at the time

Feeling the buzz of new technology and see a number light up on a screen

Was something I couldn't explain

I was so excited and thrilled

Now they are only used in restaurants when waiting for a seat or in hospitals among doctors and nurses and their staff

So look around you and see what things you haven't noticed that have changed the world in which we live

G.P,S.'s are so much fun

Map books under my car seat have just become dust collectors and almost antiques

Have you been part of the change or just holding back

I know many years have passed since I was last in school

Almost three decades of fun have passed through my finger tips

I hear most reports or assignments are done on laptops

You have to e-mail the teacher on missed homework assigments

It is a different world even though it is painted the same colors

I hear the whole system of grading in grade school from A,B,C,D, annd F's has changed

They use some number system now

The schools are locked and no one is allowed in or out unless you are checked in like a hotel at the front desk

It is time that I try to comprehend that most changes are here to stay

I have to make the best of them and learn to wecome them with open arms

The end of old records and tapes to cd's

V.c.r tapes to d.v.d's

I remember growing up with a black and white t.v.

Now it is high definition and three d

Now books changing over to the Nook and the Kindle

Are you ready for this ?

What are some of the changes that you have noticed please feel free to share with me

I can't be the only one who feels like they were stunned by a stun gun when I wasn't looking



I have missed out on the mp 3 players to the I-pod revolution

I did take part in the answering machines changing from little tapes to digital

Now
