looking in on Penzance

many thanks to Simon Rodda and the Penzance traffic cam
as you can see it gets here beautifully and full screen at that
I know... it s just insane that we are looking at an image created here in Penzance.... Zoomed to the other side of the world..... photographed and then zoomed back here again so that we can interact with the guys halfway around the world....... that s a lot of travelling ::6:
 
I happened to mention to my daughter this week that it s hard to believe that we have more technology in our mobile phones than the first space ship to the moon.......... spooky how we have advanced.
 
I remember the first calculators.... they just started to come in as I was leaving school. Remember the early (blue, red or green)LED watches. Massive things on your wrist. You pressed a button and the time displayed for 5 seconds....wow!
 
I had one of the first calculators, like half a brick, did a quarter of todays, but did we think we d arrived, hey hey ::6:
 
how about the slide rule HH, I still have one in my tool box - not many around who could use them today !!
