Well today the clocks went back and we are officially in winter time. As usual on this day I was unsure what time it was when I first woke, the alarm went off at the appropriate time but then again was it actually that time at all? I shouldn't of worried as it was the mobile phone alarm, this of course automatically ajusted the time so when it said 8am it was true. The fact that it was brighter than normal outside should of been a dead giveaway but then again in my defence it was 8am.
This got me thinking about how technology affects our lives in so many different ways, now with the click of a button we can record entire seasons of any TV show, we can listen to podcasts of any radio show that we might of missed and even use gps to guide us to any destination we may choose (usually!). Things that would of seemed amazing only a few decades ageo we take for granted now and yet for all that we still turn back the clocks every October.
In a strange way it is reassuring that there are always some constants that dont change just as everything else seems to speed forward.
