How are you coping with this
super and fast ‘Instant Age?’ If it wasn’t enough raping us with Instant
Coffee, Instant Tea and Fast Instant Food our every day existence has been
invaded too. Whether you are coping or ignoring it, things will never be the
same again. Few of the younger generation have any interest in the phone that
was down the road, when now it is in the palm of their hand or entertainment on
a box in the front room, when any amusement is instantly at their fingertips.
Communication instant – no need for snail mail or a telegram – think and send a
message in an Instant.
Like the pioneers of
yesteryear we need to embrace change and draw our own conclusions on whether we
like it or not. Certainly don’t be influenced by others opinions or narrow
mindedness you never know, you might just like it. As with trying new foods
draw intelligent and concise opinions on whether something suits you or not. As
they say ‘Try everything once – If you
like it, you can do it again and if you don’t, you can talk about it with
authority’
I am often advising people of
my two types of food shopping. The quick
I am in a hurry type with shopping list. The second, the cruise looking at the shelves top to bottom and finding new and
innovative things to create the next culinary delight or short cut. In the same
way the Internet and Technology can be of great help. Just ask and the answer
is there somewhere – either anybody will do or a website. Mine: www.paulwenham.com. See me on Facebook – Art of Entertaining. If you see the page and click ‘Like’
