Well I just went up to the post office to send some international mail and playing on the radio was Duran Duran's Wild Boys. And while not being a Duran Duran fan, I had not heard this song in a long time.
For those you wish to remind themselves or have not got a clue what I am on about, there is a link below.

But this did get me thinking. How different is life now?
Wild Boys was released in 1984. The year I left high school in the UK.
Did I then think that I would be living in the USA?
No, it was my plan to visit the USA at some point in time.
Has my perception changed of the world?
Yes, of course it has. I have met so many people from all walks of life in a few different countries over the years. A wife and children change your perception of life and what is important.
How far as technology come since then?
Well, lets just say that a home computer was not that common, we had a BBC B computer with 64kb processor.
Get yourself a coffee/tea/water and take 5 minutes to remember 1984.
It's good for a smile.
