how to watch tv
I am sure there will be many reading this that wont believe a few things I remember from my earlies tv watching days. In the uk it was 3 channels, everything was on and then went till it was repeated. If you missed it there was no recording, no catch up and no plus one channels. It meant that if you needed a comfort break or drink you had to wait between programmes or rush during adverts, a famous cry would come up of "its back on" and you would need to rush back as there was no pause.

Undeniably, the exhilarating and intricate discipline of computer science has produced incredible technological systems over recent decades that have had a transformational effect on society worldwide.

I remember: Computers and other technology
“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.” — Mark Twain

How Our World Has Changed!
I remember my childhood. I spent most of it outside. We rode our bikes, played in the dirt. We had an old play house and if you got in before the bees came, it was fun to play in, however, not so much afterwards. We played kickball, wiffle ball, tennis, card games, dress-up, telephone, and we had a rock that we thought of as a stage and held shows. I went to camp, where we sang songs, created bad art, and learned how to cook. It was a magical time for us. The sky was the limit, and our imaginations could take us anywhere. We played outside when weather permitted and inside when it did not. We went sledding, skiing, skating, and snowshoeing in the winter. We stayed outside until it got dark, and in the winter that was around 4:00. In the summer we could spend all evening outside until 9:00 or so.

The Joy of the Techless Nineties
I was born in the summer of 1979. In 1985, age six, I saw my first computer. It was beige, gigantic, and wheeled into my classroom on a trolley not dissimilar to the kind hotel porters use for an entire football team's worth of luggage. So rare was the lesser-spotted BBC computer it was chained (literally—and padlocked!) to the trolley, and only certain teachers could turn on this wondrous machine.

How Roomba Robot Vacuum Cleaners Evolved: From 980 to s9
Basically, new vacuum cleaners are produced in series, and several different models from the same series are often very similar. The very first series, released in the middle and second half of the 2000s, were the 500, 600 and 700 series. They became pioneers in this field and were the first that applied the HEPA filtration technology, the virtual wall, Max Mode. Some of these robots (mostly the 500 series) are currently out of production, but you shouldn’t get upset, because more technologically advanced models replaced them.
