I am the same way Bayla, hate to get rid of anything like that. I always think I may need these "old" adapters, cables, etc. Takes up room and completely useless. Here is a photo of new technology that I really like, Amazon Echo. Jancy, you really captured technology (a new one). Great shot! |

Here is old tech, twice. A horse drawn plow, with a sundial fastened on top. I guess so the farmer could tell when it's lunchtime?  Rick, what a capture! Recycled technology. Beautiful! |

I took this photo in Japan yesterday. With one push of a button this machine not only automatically pours beer, but tilts the glass as it is dispensed into it. Sydney, this is my kind of technology. It even tilts the glass (no head, no foam). Great finding! |

Maybe a little too much Photoshop but it addresses the old and new Colin Colin, I love this. I hadn't seen this kind of typewriter for a long time. Well done!

Learned taking a photo of a shiny screen is a challenge. It reflected so much of the room, the window, and it reflected me taking the photo - finally had to get far away to take the shot. I had to take 20 shots of my computer to get a photo I could use. And yes, my desk usually looks just that clean. The only thing I removed to take the photo was a box of kleenix. Janice, what a great and "clean" interpretation of this theme! It is a history lesson in technology. (And I thought my desk was the cleanest. ) |

We have just returned from a four-day break in Norfolk. Here are two examples of the resort's use of technology for the entertainment of guests.
Dennis, glad you found the time to capture this during your vacation. What a great combination! Technology + entertainment. |

Walking in the Norfolk countryside, I found some modern technology in a rural setting. These wind turbines were doing their work in the midst a field of barley - an incongruous partnership!
Brenda Brenda, great capture! I am so attracted by the combination of modern technology and rural settings. As you so well said, it is an incongruous partnership indeed. |

I went digging through the kitchen cupboard to find this bit of technology lol Stezza, what a finding! This is indeed a little bit of technology as well as a trip down memory lane. Great capture! |

Bill,
Your mage really shows how 'new' technology so quickly becomes old! I remember getting so excited when I got a computer with a zip drive!

One notable feature of your photo-hosting (postimag.org) / or my browser antics is that below your enlarged photo is a renewing string of spam adverts about half of which are declared virus carriers by Avast. The other half is oriented to clicking your cash away. Phil Yes, you are quite right Phil; the down-side of free. Adblock plus is what I use (which is also free - LOL!). |

Not a particularly interesting image, but interesting for what it is: a section of core memory. Each toroid was 1 bit (8 bits to a byte). The particular core section that this image came from had 4096 bits (512 bytes), which measures 6.75x6.75 inches! The computer from which it came was demolished circa 1978; some of those bits may well have held code I wrote. It was hand-made (see the solder joint in the upper-right corner). The wires were much straighter, but many students fingers poking it have seriously damaged it (sigh).  |

This would make a wonderful texture. |

I thought this was so funny. I found some solar panels (new technology) on a day besieged by severe thunderstorms. I kept singing "Let the Sunshine in" but the sun never showed up.
