I know a lot of people will probably be programmers, and IT help desk people, and software engineers (CE probably hasn't changed much from a few years ago), but we'll probably get a few different careers that people do, I guess. @Asherlee10 @pinky0926 @treewojima @mrduckbear --- It has been 3 days since something interesting happened.

| Topic | Why does everyone assume a book should take years to write? |
| Sunhawk 08/16/17 6:50:53 AM #10 | Goggolator, you've made me pretty angry. Books can take years and years to get really good. I don't think readers understand how much effort and time goes into them. I don't disagree that a book *can* be written quickly though, and be good...or at least, decent. But most take quite a while. Maybe 6 months of planning, 2 - 3 months to write the first draft, 3 months of reflection, and than another 6 months of redrafting. That's almost a year and a half right there. And of course, there are books that are excellent, and took a long, long time to write. Gone With The Wind, 10 years. Oscar Wao, 11 years. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, 10 years. You don't know much about writing if you think books should be written in a few months or weeks. --- It has been 1 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

You'd be hard pushed to get a DVD player for much less than £50, assuming it's a good one, not even a great one. As for MP3 players, I doubt they sell nearly as well as they used to, but they still sell quite well. I know you imagine people hate music, but I don't think that's the case, and it's nice to have a dedicated music player.

| Topic | In what ways, if any, are you behind on technology? |
| Sunhawk 08/16/17 5:32:25 AM #1 | I sometimes think I'm quite behind on technology. It's partly because of lack of money, but also there were times when I wasn't that interested. Let's see. - I've never owned a smart phone of any kind - I've never owned an MP3 player - I don't use a Blu-Ray player for films and TV boxsets, but rather DVD players (although I have access to a Blu-Ray player) I started to realise, the last couple of years, I'm actually sorta behind on technology, and these days, that impacts your lifestyle choices negatively quite a lot. I mean, smart phones in particular. Smart phones have been around for 10 years, and I've never owned one. Originally, it was because I didn't give a flying fuck, but now it's kinda a money thing.
