Bob Doesn't Have A Computer
Bob is unemployed and applies for a job as a janitor at Microsoft.
A manager at Human Resources interviews him in detail then asks him to wipe a few floors as a test.
"OK," says the interviewer,
"you're hired. Just give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the necessary documents."
Bob says that he doesn't have a computer, so obviously has no e-mail address.
The Microsoft interviewer tells him that without an e-mail address he virtually doesn't exist, so the company is unable to hire him.
Disappointed and frustrated, Bob leaves the building with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He decides to go to the nearest supermarket and buy 10 pounds of tomatoes.
He sells the tomatoes door-to-door and within two hours has doubled his capital.
He repeats the process three times and ends up with 160 dollars.
Realizing that he can make a living this way, Bob works hard from early morning to late at night.
Every day, he doubles or even triples his capital.
After a short time, he buys a small van, then a truck, and soon he has an entire fleet for his deliveries.
Within 5 years, Bob has established one of the largest food retail chains in the USA.
He decides to think about his future and wants to get a financial plan drawn up for himself and his family.
He contacts a financial consultant and they compile a pension plan.
At the end of the discussion, the consultant asks Bob for his e-mail address in order to send him the corresponding documents, only to hear that Bob still does not own a computer and has no e-mail address.
"That's weird," says the consultant.
"You have built up a massive retail empire and you don't even have an e-mail address.
Just imagine what you would have achieved if you'd had a computer."
Bob thinks for a minute, then says:
"I'd be a janitor at Microsoft."

There are times that I wish there were no iPhones as people are not communicating like they used to do
I only have a land line phone and like to keep it that way as long as I can wave wave wave

The man who did not have a computer

Flew to the moon 9 times
Landed there 6 times
Took off again and came home safely every time.
Played golf there
Drove a car he built there without instructions
Jumped about without a care in the world in a place where a speck of dust could kill you

At home he taped over thousands of video tapes of the landings so no trace of the original footage remains
Because he was short of money in the 80's - presumably saving his bucks to build a computer
But what did the man without a computer find more interesting than thousands of hours of man's greatest achievement?
Did Bob have a really good joke?
Was the cat lying in a funny position?
Didn't keep one single tape, eh?

And now with all the computers on Earth we ''don't have the technology''
To go back?????? And that radiation belt is a major obstacle to us going to Mars??

Seems like we were so much smarter without computers. Or ....
