 | | Fascinating blog. As communication means have changed, so has language. I wonder what my English teacher would say? Thanks |

 | | Interesting isn't it? What's next... |

 | | Thanks for the typewriter mentions. I was a secretary for most of my life, and I started on a manual (not electric) machine. I sure do remember the red/black ribbons Bruce. I just sold two electric typewriters last year. Really! People are still using them. I also started out (in my youth) with a 3-step photocopy machine. Yikes I AM old! |

 | | Hi Julie, yes i can remember,you would hear a word that you never heard before ...what!...what was that? and you hear others talking about it and curiosity finally gets the better of you and you find out what its all about...aah those were the days when my teenage sons thought i was too thick to understand lol.thank you for sharing this great blog. |

 | | Thanks Julie for the "blast from the past". I remember in high school the big transition from "Push Key Typewriters to Electric Typewriters" (no copy and past back then). I recently showed my daughters my old "Sliderule" and they all said, "What's That????" My, times have changed in the last 20 years! |

 | | I looked at my two kids creating their own PowerPoint presentations in 5th grade 5 years ago and couldn't believe it!! It's amazing how much technology is a part of everyone's lives! My kids are teaching me new terms! |

 | | Nice blogpost. thanks for sharing |

 | | Oh Julie you have touched my youth with this one. I hear you all the way. I remember when a typewriter (didn't you just love those multi-colour ribbons - black and red all in one) with a single font type was all the rage. And now they have key boards (my parents had one as well - it hung on the wall and you put keys on it). And as for "Facebook" - isn't that just a photo album? TB&L |
|
| |
 | | Just when I got my fax machine figured out they pretty much got rid of 'em. I hear what you're saying. Thanks for your humor - your info - your perspective |

 | | We write articles on blogging platforms. Even the meaning of platform has changed. Blog to us means "what happened today." We do need to write more of those. How can you relate your life today to your products or services? |

| |
 | | Thanks for a great read Julie, it is funny how words and their meaning change from generation to generation. I thought it was strange when my children would use a word that meant something completely different than my meaning, now I have grandchildren. TB&L my friend |

| | Sig, you speak 6 languages? I am impressed. The only other person I personally knew who spoke that many languages was my grandmother who spoke German, Polish, English, Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian. I believe a couple of them were pretty similar.
Thank you all for taking a few minutes to read and comment on my post. |
