Albert Einstein once said: “I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots.” I agree with him. When I look at the present younger generation I think to myself “These are the people who one day will rule this country?”. I glad that I won’t be around to see it. 
Get-together in a restaurant… Enjoying the beauty of an art gallery … Pleasantly chatting in a cafe … Enjoying a day at the beach … At the stadium supporting the team … A couple spending quality time together … Appreciating the city …

A sad indictment of our times. It is so irritating to see groups of people out to dinner doing the same thing.

Well, though I’m tempted to take issue with the selection of photos (any with people talking to each other are not included), I must sadly agree, as I look around me, that most are plugged-in and tuned-out here, as well.

[...] But while this generation boasts of championing life saving, live improving technology, it must also be held responsible for technology replacing humanity. As Einstein predicted quite aptly,“I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity.

Here are a few facts, which might help you decide if you've had the unfortunate experience of meeting me in real life or not ... I am 75 going on 30, divorced and available. I enjoy French cooking, drinking lots of wine, (French of course!) and holidaying in France (on a pittance, I might add!). I also have a passion for amateur radio and electronics. I design and make stained glass windows now purely as a hobby (It used to be my trade until I retired). My other interests are archery and French boule; playing Petanque with friends and a nice bottle of vin rouge on the side.
