And therein lies a problem. Many of us shudder at the thought of visiting a "social site" or otherwise selling our souls to the mobs. Handle Blue333 website:Your real website or an Amazon link Location:Instagram You can Like things and leave comments without a trail. They do not appear on your feed. They are independent of each other. And you do not have to be a follower or be followed in order to comment. Different from FB. Nothing to lose. Amuse yourself. Are you suggesting we spam other peoples' messages? And anonymously? Peoples' ability to be anonymous on line is the worst thing about the internet.

It was we boomers who invented the internet. Cameron: In the 1980's I worked on an IBM 360/70 for awhile. It (and its peripherals) took up most of a room. My current cell phone has more computing power and storage than the first computer I owned.
The autos I had long ago, pre-electronic ignition with points and condensers ran better than the early electronic modules. The 68 T-bird with suicide doors was fun, except at the gas station.

Ah, yes. The technology we knew...
The good old rotary-dial phone, originally made in the US by Western Electric.

Some wanted to be my Follower after I wrote about their posts. I added value. It was a test. Turns out people like engagement, comments, intelligent contribution. It's tiring to contribute, builds slowly, but it's planting seeds. Better than not planting.

That's a riot. They did not even know they had to pick up the receiver. I bought one from my neighbor who had it from the previous owner of his house, 90 years old. I had to teach my kids how to use it. We all laughed when it worked. And the ringing sound annoyed them.😀

They're whispering in British. It's 8:25am.

It is indeed a British show, and by whispering you mean you have the volume down? You could try headphones

And I was parked in front of the ocean. But I like your posts today. Helpful and enjoyable. I'll look at the video tomorrow when I'm less tired, and indoors.

Buy a Tablet, Laptop, or PC, or Cast to a TV my smartphone has a 6" screen, but too small for me to bother watching anything on it.
