are a great bit of technology, For the past few years I have been seen some very creative fun uses for what I considered to be toys.
I was however amazed to see this article,


I personally think it to be one of the best uses to date seen to promote their use for anything other than toys.

A tribute to the ingenuity and spirit of Humanity

What was the last thing that you seen if ever, That made you proud to be part of the race. ?

Have a great day My friends

I've seen video from China with a dozen or so tractors and earth moving equipment running around the clock and scheduled to build a hospital in 10 days. I keep thinking dog and pony show. Were the plans already made for a soon to open project? Land already cleared? Sewer and drainage already installed in the ground? Fast setting concrete doesn't cure in less than a few weeks, hope they know that.

In the 70's I worked for a company that made prefabricated panels. Their big contracts were for hospitals in Saudi Arabia attached to U-shape tracks bolted to a concrete slab retained the walls around steel columns and joists.

Plumbing, electrical, a/c venting takes time...

Airplane hangars, warehouses in 10 days. Fully equipped real hospitals... I have my doubts.

I'm in the middle of a YouTube marathon viewing stories about some amazing inventions.

Thomas Edison patented (and marketed) the electric light that changed the way we live. No more candles or gas lights in the night. His lights were powered from generators that he built using direct current (DC) which is the same current created by batteries. DC current is good for short distance. The major drawback using DC is voltage drop over wires for any distance. This would require a power station every mile. Another problem was the generators themselves weren't efficient nor reliable.

Nikola Tesla, a young immigrant to America started working for Edison. Tesla told Edison he could fix the generator problems and Edison agreed to pay him a million dollars* if he did. Tesla redesigned the generators and Edison reneged only giving him a pay raise.

Angered he had been cheated by Edison, Tesla went off on his own and worked on a new invention of a generator using alternating current (AC) but he needed funding and struck up a partnership with millionaire George Westinghouse. His generators were in direct competition to Edison.

Edison announced to the public that alternating current was dangerous and began a smear campaign of publicly electrocuting dogs using AC. In response, Tesla gave a demonstration at the Worlds Fair in 1883 by shooting electricity through his body to produce light in the lights in his hands!

Alternating current being the superior method of transmission became the standard of electricity as we know it.

The more I learn about Edison, the less I like the man.

* note: one story claimed the deal was $50,000 and another said $1,000,000.

Early in my relation with Amazon, I made the mistake of buying several items in my cart, just after a price increase. Apparently the algorithms decided that price increases were the way to get me to buy, because pretty soon most of the items in my cart were getting their price bumped up. I found that annoying……and expensive.

So I moved items up from my "saved for later" list to my cart; I kept at least 6 items in my cart. Because most purchases are from WANT and not NEED, I am in no hurry. Each time one of them got increased in price, I deleted it from all lists. It only took Amazon about 10 days to notice. Now, when Amazon wants to encourage a purchase, they >decrease< the price, with no more bumping up the price.

Yes, Amazon algorithms study your buying patterns, and price accordingly. Depending on shopping and buying habits, different people get different prices on the same item. You Amazon addicts out there, if you are not in a rush, and if you want to pay less, you might want to give my method a try.

hi! hope this reached you in a good condition. lol. so i wrote this to ask if it is possible to edit or change my username. i’ve looked but didn’t see any option that i can. i have resolved to think that it isn’t possible but my persistent self said that i should ask the experts which will be the other users of this site before totally giving up. so here i am. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE OR EDIT MY USERNAME? if so how? thanks in advance.

I remember the old style pay phones and maybe you do too.
They had a coin slot at the top and it was ten cents to make a local call.
This was more than 40 years before they invented caller ID.
Doing so, made it easy to be in informant of illegal activity and not having the call traced.
A simple call to the Police to let them know of some suspicious activity and hang up.
That's where the term 'Drop a Dime' came from.

Pay phones have become a thing of the past.
Hopefully, no one reading my blog has money in a pay phone company.
I knew of a guy was was on the front technology for phone cards that offered low cost long distance service. That lasted a generation and all the competition made rich men poor men if they didn't get out when 'everyone and their grandmother' was selling phone cards.

Soon after, low price cellphone plans put the 'kibosh' on calling cards.



I still see pay phones everywhere I go.
Unfortunately, if I didn't have a cellphone, it would be a long walk to find a pay phone that actually worked!

Are you skeptical/sceptical about some new inventions or technology yet to come? Don’t be but if you insist, don’t talk about it too much. Some very bright and knowledgeable people made colossal fools of themselves in the past. Don’t let the same happen to you.

I have a few examples here for you, in the reverse sequence that it happened, of how people have made giant arseholes of themselves. Many of them were proved wrong with-in their own lifetimes. Bill Gates and Ken Olsen were proved wrong within ten years, Lord Kelvin in two years and Admiral William Leahy swallowed his words within months.

"640k ought to be enough for anybody."
Bill Gates, 1981

"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.
Ken Olson, founder, chairman & president of DEC, 1977

"Television won't last because people will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night."
Producer Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century Fox, 1946

"The atom bomb will never go off - and I speak as an expert in explosives."
U.S. Admiral William Leahy in 1945

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
IBM chairman Thomas Watson, 1943

"A rocket will never be able to leave the earth's atmosphere."
The New York Times, 1936

"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom."
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Robert Milliken, 1923

"The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?"
David Sarnoff's associates during the 1920s.

"Airplanes are interesting toys, but of no military value."
General Marechal Foch, Professor of Strategy. Circa 1910

"Everything that can be invented has already been invented."
Charles H. Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office, 1899

"Radio has no future, x-rays are clearly a hoax and the aeroplane is scientifically impossible."
Royal Society president Lord Kelvin, 1897-99

"The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us."
An internal Western Union memo, 1876

"Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction."
Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse, 1872

"Well-informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that were it possible to do so, the thing would be of no practical value."
Boston Post, 1865

"Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy!"
Drillers who Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his project to drill for oil in 1859

My advice – Don’t comment on future technology.


A great day to ya all.
