HITCHING UP WITH MAX TAYLOR
TECH WISE
Like you, I remember the days of telephones with rotary
dials and when the Apple II was the height of personal
computing technology. Today, as I write I’m keeping
in touch with the office from Queensland via a modern
laptop connected to the internet via the hotspot on
my phone. The marvel of modern technology, a marvel
that has broadened our ability to confidently explore
Australia, whether with our partners, families, or even
by ourselves.
If nothing else, it has allowed the sharing of our
wisdom. How do I replace the anode on my Suburban
hot water heater? Is the D-Max really a good tow
vehicle? Whatever the problem, answers are only a few
clicks away.
Overwhelmingly, this is a great thing. One danger,
however, is the temptation to become so wrapped up
in what’s happening online that we miss out on the real
world. Take, for example, a fellow I met at the top of
New South Wales. He was so busy filming the sunset on
his phone, which was set-up on its own little tripod, that
he missed the whole thing.
No doubt, his video was a shareable Facebook post,
but I doubt he’d remember the experience beyond the
amount of times the post was ‘liked’.
Now, it’s time to close this laptop – the sun is
sparkling on the Queensland ocean.
