Modern Day Things That You Actually Like
Part of an experiment, as I don't think it will run to as many pages as the one under Modern Day Things That **** You Off
I will try to kick it off:
induction cook tops & fan ovens (although been around awhile)

Yes, because I was born in the late 1800s. I know I'm good, but 140+ is pushing my limits.

I remember walkmans and my love of them, today's equivalent, my I-Pod goes everywhere with me when I am traveling, love it.
I remember gameboys and buying the children them for long haul flights, what a difference, today I suppose tablets, which both my grandchildren have aged 3 & 5.

Re: Modern Day Things That You Actually Like
the wise thing is very true, and I thought you were very good with puzzles along with a few others, however you are failing on the cryptic clue I gave you, but you would have to go through the thread on the Lockdown Jokes & Memes to know the answer. However, having said that, I know you were there often, so you've lost a few points around the wise/quiz-master pedestal I had you sat on now.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 9:29 pmYou cheeky little fraggle!

Re: Modern Day Things That You Actually Like
From works point of view - social media means advertising is free and minimal work required and positive feed back can be seen (don't really get any negative)
Diagnostic machines makes life easier when looking for issues on cars.
Normal everyday life - Amazon, Netflix, Disney+.
My Cineworld card is one of the best things I've got or ever had
WhatsApp for video calling people, or to be precise for my 5yr old daughter to video call people on my phone
She had a video call with my mum the other day and when she was done she hung up before I got a chance to chat to mum
YouTube - gives skilled people a platform to show what they can do with existing songs and remixing them.
Some of my favourite current tunes are remixes
Online gaming - one of the most satisfying things for me is battering my teenage boys on CoD or Fifa
Phone consultations with the Docs - my local docs is mainly doing phone consultations due to Covid and I have to say its brilliant, no real wait time it's usually same day or next day and I don't have to waste time travelling to the Practice or sitting in the waiting room
The NHS app is also great for ordering repeat prescriptions.

Re: Modern Day Things That You Actually Like
Pre - Covid. The ease of travelling anywhere in the world. You can easily book a flight and hotel, travel with 5 mins.
Internet Banking. So easy to sort bills etc.
Smart Phone. Maps, Camera, Music, plus the ability to do the above and much more.

Started on Cubase in the 90's, now I tend to use ProTools on the pc or preferably ProLogic which is the Mac version.
I think Napster is a music streaming service(?), I 'm talking more about digital music creation.
Re: Modern Day Things That You Actually Like
which reminds me, I am still waiting for the first music creation by some of the posters from a thread long ago, hope I didn't miss it!!
