40 Years by mozette

40 Years

Yesterday, I went to my old high school as it turned 40.

So much has changed there with a lot of astro-turf, no books in the library, instead they're downloading them from the internet and calling the building The Hub.

I didn't get a good feeling about those things when I saw this around my old high school. Just because we're in the future doesn't necessarily mean that the technology is a good thing.

This is the only photo of me. I'm on the far right. My hair was so thick it broke the elastic in scrunchies.
Oh Lynda I don't like the sound of what's happened to your old school. Astro-turf!!!! No books!!!. I do like the photo of you though 😁

@susiemc yeah...I asked why they didn't replace them, and they said that the future was here. And I said well, okay, but children still need to have the tactile feeling of books... oh, they have some, but only about 200 and they're not the best.

My folks said I live in the past, but I don't. I'm all for the future, but making it one where everything is found on a computer screen makes it meaningless.

@mozette I totally agree with you Lynda. Books can be added to but not replaced.
