What technology would you be better off without, why?

I have no idea which technology I would be better off without. I believe technology is a scientifically invented force of nature and selecting one type to remove would have unforeseen and unwelcome consequences elsewhere.

I had an online natter with a friend yesterday which shows how technology evolves

I discovered when we moved to our current house that without the communication technology that we were accustomed to, organisational life slowed to a snail’s pace.

A first world problem so easily demonstrated by the fashion pages from the year my house and Polly’s were built. I would have moved house in the 1880’s looking like this.

I could only have written to Polly to commiserate with her new house communication woes. I could perhaps have sent a telegram. I presume her only woe would have been how far the walk was to a post box or post office.

I would have been unlikely to even have a landline.

And Polly would have looked like this in the 1930’s and may have had a landline. She could also have sent a telegram.

How times/technology change.

First World predicaments on the subject of nattering.

P.s Writing this made me look at the house deeds . It is actually 20 years older than we thought.

The dresses just get bigger!
