#7 Technology
Huge advances in technology have occurred in our lifetimes especially in computers and related technology. I remember doing computers in Maths in year 10 or form 4 as it was then. We had to make cards that ran what ever you wished to do on the computer which was so big that it took up whole walls. I guess the invention of the microchip was a major leap forward. To day I find email very convenient for communication especially as Secretary of organisations, I can email reports, agendas, minutes etc. and of course for day to day communication. The word processing programs have changed how we do things, and I now think better when sitting at a key board than I do when writing long hand. The other thing I really like is my USB memory stick.
