"You know, in OUR day we had to WAIT for the computers."

I am going to tell the Grandkids that I was on a *party* line, where several families shared 1 land line, which was managed by a person known as an "operator". There were *no* computers, and *no* cell phone. No LEDs, No satellites, No GPS.

I will brag to them that I was involved in the program that *created* GPS.

“metamaterial that can be “tuned” to change the color of light.”
Sorry, university geniuses,

Sorry - as I get older, my mind is too tired to think all sciency....
