TLC 2.0 Number 9 number 9 number 9

Aside from the Beatles reference in my title this posting is to satisfy the 9Th requirement of a series of exercises to improve my knowledge of the changing social climate--maybe paradigm shift--in the Internet use and activity taking place today. If you Google the term "new technology" you will become aware when you see the thousands of hits that it is nearly impossible to keep up with the changes taking place on the Internet and with the associated technologies. Fortunately for me, technology is fun, so I find learning new things through the medium of the Internet child's play.
I recently had a Pacemaker operation which introduced me to the state of the art technology associated with Pacemakers. My Pacemaker is just a bit larger than a fifty cent coin, about twice as thick, and fitted with a lithium battery which is expected to last 10 years. Imagine what will be available when my battery needs to be replace in 10 years? I only spent about a day in the hospital before I was released and in just 2 months time I am running 3 miles a day. Modern technology is amazing.
