Very interesting topic....I think I could do without a dishwasher and landline phone. I often think about how technology has changed over the past 30 years...my mom, a brother and my grandfather have all been gone about that long. I sometimes wonder how amazed they would be if they could see all the changes in just that short amount of time. My 2 brothers farmed together...my deceased brother would be amazed at the GPS technology and auto-steer on the combine and I know my mom (who loved to sew) would be amazed at the embroidery machines! I would love to be able to share with them!
