"Generation Gap"

A few years ago, I was interviewing Champika Liyanaarachchi who was at that time just appointed Editor-Daily Mirror, becoming the first female editor in a national daily in any language in Sri Lanka and the youngest ever editor being just over 30. Explaining some point she said "today we cannot even imagine how our predecessors published newspapers without internet". Today while trying to open some old CDs, wasting so much time & energy, I suddenly remembered Champika's words. I really cannot imagine how we ourselves managed with slow floppy disks & CDs a few years back! Floppy disks were anyway a nightmare because they always refused to open if I touched them, making me subject to teasing for being static (though it wasn't my fault but the disk's). CDs also died a natural death after a while. Thankfully now we have more comfortable technologies for data transferring and storage. But I'm sure in the future people will wonder how we managed without the technologies they'd be using.
