The internet has opened up new vistas for me - what a wonderful world this is - instant access to all
kinds of information - some good, some rubbish - its how you choose - its a jungle and very challenging.
I sometimes write letters to the press - a few gets printed.  Several years ago, the letters were printed out,
put into the envelope, duly stamped and posted in the post office.  Four to five days later, you would see
your letter or comments being printed in the newspaper.  Now, it's no longer so.  I just emailed my comments, and the next day I will see it in print.  It's really is wonderful.  I feel great. Its all instant now.
Unfortunately, most of my friends of my age, all septuagenarians, are not into computers.  Probably
they are intimidated by this new-fangled stuff, too alien to them.  More is the pity.
