WHO NEEDS COMPUTER TABLETS

II was born at the right time; happily when the termTablet referred to pills taken with water to help you swallow 'and make you better', not for' thumb  dancing' on a one dimensional flat screen messaging a friend holding its twin somewhere else on the planet. There was much more three dimensional stuff going on in my home town of Swansea then; devastated by wartime bombing with much reconstruction by mechanical diggers which casual all conquering ability quickly became a much see distraction for a fascinated public. (Have you perhaps not noticed how more quarrelsome the world has become since the the mobile phone arrived.) Our time was set very much in the mechanical age everything developing with schoolboys encouraged to take an interest. So let me take you out of the over programmed computer world of today and back to the time of Meccano, model railways and airplanes, chasing mechanical diggers around building sites climbing aboard to stand behind the driver pulling the multitude of levers in front of him in a world that no longer exists. We became ten year old businessmen making scrap yards deals looking for bits to build a trolley or bicycle and having to avoid a fight with back street rough boys on the way home trying to steal our treasure.
