Just Ten Years Ago

Just ten years ago.
Before the computer age,

-- An APPLICATION was for employment.

-- A PROGRAMME was a television show.

-- WINDOWS were something you hated to clean.

-- A KEYBOARD was a piano.

-- MEMORY was something you lost with age.

-- A CD was a bank account.

-- COMPRESS was something you did to garbage.

-- LOG ON was adding wood to a fire.

-- A HARD DRIVE was a long trip on the road.

-- A MOUSE PAD was where a mouse lived.

-- CUT you did with scissors.

-- PASTE you did with glue.

-- A WEB was a spider's home.

-- And a VIRUS was a flu !!!!!

Now, in the 21 century...

-- Our communication - Wireless

-- Our dress - Topless

-- Our telephone - Cordless

-- Our cooking - Fireless

-- Our youth - Jobless

-- Our food - Fatless

-- Our labour - Effortless

-- Our conduct - Worthless

-- Our relation - Loveless

-- Our attitude - Careless

-- Our feelings - Heartless

-- Our politics - Shameless

-- Our education - Valueless

-- Our follies - Countless

-- Our arguments - Baseless

-- Our boss - Brainless

-- Our Job - Thankless

-- Our Salary - Very less

-- Our Future - Hopeless!

  3. I think that first posting is a little bit dated since Windows 95 (in 1995) is what really made computers and the internet a part of everyday life. (Wow...has it really been that long already???!?)

    That second posting hits the nail square on the head...so hard that it hurts. Kudos to whoever wrote it.
