PLEASE NOTE that this is not a diary but an attempt to leave writings intended for future social historians in 2525 and beyond. The 2525 is taken from the song by Zager and Evans,,,,
Just looked at my other blogs and realised I hadn’t put anything up since July! Too taken up with my digital painting I guess. (See new blog http://juliegale-digitalart.blogspot.com/ ) But this one is supposed to leave behind a history for the future about life here and now. So most of it seems to be taken up with looking at a computer screen of one sort or another. The main home computer screen, my note book computer, my husbands new tablet computer and an array of different smart phones and PDAs. One of them peeps, rings bells or some other noise and we both say which one was that? Sometimes it turns out to be the microwave announcing it finished. What a world.
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find…..

When out in the wide world it isn’t much better. You are on a bus or waiting for one and somebody’s phone rings – everybody looks at theirs! Yet we know what tone we have put on our own phone but still – we look. Daft lot that we are.
Communication they call it and I forgot to add the three TV screens in the house. I have just had a look at the latest thing. Radio on the computer screen. Yes, you can SEE radio. Long gone are the days of the bodiless voice. On BBC FiveLive you can watch them in the studio in real time. See the news reader and the weather girl creep in to do their spots and creep out again. I feel sorry for the radio presenter as he or she now has to behave and not pull rude faces at the phone-in twits. Strange world.
!!!!! The damned thing has just crashed on me!!!! Back up now and running but I cannot understand why it does that now and then. It’s not a very old computer but do more than 2 things on it and it gets its knickers in a twist and freezes.
