Letter Q...Quill -
A couple of hundred years ago if I were
making a list of things to be thankful for I might be doing it on parchment
with a quill pen. Then we get a press then we get a typewriter then we get word processor then we get a PC then we get billions of bits of data going out over
the world wide interwebs. It is just mind boggling.
I have studied the
history of communications and through everything from the first printing
presses to the internet the one constant has been change. What's next? Who the hell knows. To be true there are plenty of folks that think they know. You can watch a hundred TED Talks and hear 100 different new ideas. Guessing correctly is worth a few hundred billion dollars for sure.
All we know is that there will be something new. Facebook will be the old way of getting the word out. Communication evolves and Technology's application to those infinite advancements is exciting to watch. The Chinese proverb says "May you live in interesting times." So on this Thanksgiving Alphabet for the letter Q I am thankful for the Quill and all he advancements and inventions in communication that have followed.
