Saturday mornings had the best cartoons, videos, then soon after DVDs, were bought, borrowed, or rented for the night to watch new movie releases, computers made these communicating sounds, a language of their own, unlike today, waiting hours for a game to connect, an introduction to the internet, for it to be disconnected by just one click, or an unwelcomed call, phones connected to the wall, news to the newer generation, letterboxes filled with postcards, letters, and handwritten notes, email trying to get its foot in the door, mobile phones used for emergencies, infrared and Bluetooth, an exchange of media, used to grow your growing collection, neighbourhoods and playgrounds filled with the shouts and sounds of social beings, our version of social networking, rooms echoed with people engaged in conversation and laughter, the outside world oblivious, until technology evolved, changing the focus, the meaning of what is essential, the value of people, people being the constant, the invariable, and now, somehow, the forgotten.
