A BABY BOOMER'S EUREKA

Is it not amazing? Is it not subliming?

For a baby boomer and a computer science graduate in the nineteen eighties, I am so amazed and sublimed. While many baby boomers became successful and well rewarded for their computer and related fields studies, I was not one of them. I never worked for any IT firm. My past working experience with companies I worked for is nothing but a mediocrity like toying proudly with tanky CPU, chunky monitors and clumsy keyboards. Still they were pioneers and respectable machines that one should not disrespect.....

..... During my early working years, I dealt mainly in accounting and banking facilities. I do not regret as the experience renders very helpful today. But it was realizing how removed from the cyber realm I was, in 2010, I know I know just 2 years ago, that catapulted me into anything digital, mobile or cyber; if I had not befriended many Generation Y's and then X's archetypes, I never would have understood as yet humbly as now and beckoned into the great Information and Communication Technology and its awed development.

Wonder how many users enjoy the convenience of a mobile device in her or his convenient cubicle or powder room?

I know I do, and  yet my knowledge in computer is so mean and similarly to be said for my laptop and mobile device. I did not owe a laptop or wifi devices for a long time until 2011 when a kind friend gave away his laptop, and until March 2012 another brotherly friend gave me a 3G plus wifi mobile phone. As my blog title declares that I aged past 50, all the more reason I have to create a blog to share my understanding of being 50+ with anyone that one day reads my blog. You see, these two giveaways truly markedly signified a 50+ baby boomer who has just begun his journey to the most important realm in the world, conveying and acquiring information.....

 

 

..... My maiden voyage to the wireless cyber was nearly coincided with the time when laptop was given to me. Not long after that I was swimming in an ocean of wireless internet. I digress but I love swimming. Where I live, a humble dwelling, anywhere within the perimeter of it, I felt awed with the the fettle of wifi convenience, pardon me that I used the term 'wifi' so loosely. It is just awesome that I am able to search and understang anything I need and want to understand disregarding my whereabouts. I do sound like a child with a new toy but I am nearly history! Like a Neanderthal suddenly possessing advance tools in, as like inquiring and acquiring for a new lease of life and a new way of living by 'googling', 'wiki'ing', 'yahoo'ing' etc. .....

..... For many years I possessed no will to live but now I have no reason for no will to live!

My laptop is Dell's Pentium Inspiron 700 and the mobile phone iPhone first generation which I am so fortunate so have. Hmm, they must be older than my youngest niece or nephew of four years old.

To pen off today's post I would like to extend my sincere apologies to readers who find my context distasteful or offensive.
