The high tech age is very high

Mar 24, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
May I say how much I enjoy the letters by Yvonne Sam. The recent one about smart phones and the verbal codes used by ‘smarty pants IT kids’ I liked a lot – I learnt much from it.
Recently, when my 5-year old computer gave up the ghost, I bought one chosen from a catalogue in a chain store, and when I had to visit shortly afterwards to get advice about a browser problem, which my ISP had suggested, every adult in the shop tried to help me and enquired whether my grandchildren or neighbours’ grandchildren could not help! “The child is father of the man” was an essay my generation was regularly given as an exercise at secondary school. What prescience!
And there is more to come. We are moving into the very ‘high tech. age’ and within the next ten years, today’s gadgets may seem stone-aged. Unfortunately, in the wrong hands, much mischief and mayhem could be created. Let us hope not.
