Poor Old Henry without a computer

I confess to using a laptop, an iPad and an iPhone. I do a lot of work on these. I don’t keep right up-to-date with every new series coming out or anything like that – my iPhone is still a 6S.

But without a computer and technological assistance in communication, particularly written communication, I am fine.

I do a lot of writing by hand. I keep a diary and have done it for the most part since 1970. I like to write by hand for it is important not to lose the skill.

If all of a sudden this Technology was not available, I would be fine. I go back to handwriting, to posting letters in an envelope with a stamp, to taking a bit of extra time to get things done, to go back to books rather than using the Internet for finding out things, to talking face-to-face rather than using the iPhone.

I would be quite happy to use hard currency – as I still do – rather than having everything on cards that I authorise through phone usage.

I could go on and on but won’t. However, I am very glad that I large part of my life was spent in a world of communication that happened before technology. If push came to shove, I would have other ways of communication. Sadly, I was born in recent years without technology and computers would be, sadly, lost.
