Read below for JimsDaily of 5/10/2018 – “Digital clocks, cameras, and digital news. Oh my!”
While sitting on my porch having breakfast – digitally captured this bunny having breakfast too
The total purpose of this little story is to get you to think about and to love the digital age we are in.
My Dad dated my Mom in a Model T Ford in the 1920’s. I doubt if it used any digital computers. – Oh my – What is a computer? My car use digital computers, to tell me where to turn, how much gas I have left, how much air is in my tires, how fast I am going, what the speed limit is, – some times when I do not listen to it, I swear it swears at me!
My Grandkids probably do not even know what a Model T is – but they sure know a lot of digital things. I get digital photos from them every day – they send me digital video stories that their phone recorded. They send all those digitals along to my phone – One Thousand Five Hundred miles away – those digits come through snow storms, tornadoes, down pours, and then into the scorching heat of Florida – Magic.
The Model T would have taken weeks to get to me in Florida.
Are you thinking yet. Hey, I am sitting in a Doctors waiting room – There are 10 people in the waiting room – eight of them are playing around with digital devices,watching movies. reading mail, typing stories, sending photos, reading about President Trump talking of Iran – The news guy is talking half a world away but he is sitting right here on my knee in this doctor’s waiting room – That is the Virtual Reality that we just take for granted.
Think about it. The news man is right here for me, he is in the kitchen for my daughter a 1000 miles away, he is on the radio talking to my son as he drives to work. When he gets to work he will send to his students digital x-rays to help them learn to handle medical emergencies. We take all this digital magic for granted.
A young quarterback will put on Virtual Reality glasses and be the quarterback in a thousand plays – learning to make the snap decisions that build a winning team – Without the digits, a quarterback in training, would need 10 seasons of experience to get that good.
How about the virtual experience a Wal-Mart manager in training can have – learning how to manage during the Christmas rush – labor problems, shipping problems, irate customers, employees that do a no-show, or an employees found sitting in a corner smoking pot, or an employee found with his hand in the till, or a customer threatening an employee with physical harm. All of this and more could happen in one twenty-four hour period. A Wal-Mart manager must deal with all of this. It would take many Christmas rush seasons to give this young manager the experience needed to deal with it. But, with Virtual Reality training, a twenty year old kid could get that experience in a week or two – The digital world – we gotta love it.
Oh my – are you thinking yet?
As an old retired person, today, I get to use the digital devices to be watching movies, reading mail, typing stories, sending photos, reading about President Trump talking of Iran – Oh my, what I really like to do is study how to make fake digital pictures and paintings that move even. Here is some scraps from my digital art easel:
Oh MY! Digital breakfasts could be a time for everybody to have breakfast!
From the digital movie, This cloud guy was just laying there enjoying a book – He seems very happy.
That is all the digital fun for this morning – I must get back to Reality and clean up my garage!
