The future is coming fast

The future is coming fast - make your own plastic parts with a low cost crowd-funded 3D printer and a smart phone??? How cool is this?

Too much technology in this world for us old folks who grew up with no technology. I recall when I was working for Texaco Inc. about 1970 as a stock clerk. Someone said you will be replaced one day by a computer. I remember saying, what the heck is a computer? At the time, we barely had digital watches and calculators. The
modern technology passed me by, many times over. "Old School is relevant to me." After using my Montgomery Ward Sport King casting reel as a kid and getting a backlash every time I tried to cast, I recall one Christmas when my oldest brother gave me a Zebco Scottie 66 for Christmas. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven! Yes the future is coming ,but some of us are still living in the past.
