I still have great imagination. I put it to charity campaings now and hope it can help others. Campaings are very adult ones but they also need child imagination as they are helping kids.

Example:

Think youself as 5 year old kid in Gaza, your mom is killed in front of your eyes. What you really want?

Okok you yell and cry and want to run away.

Teddy?

imsad Kind of thinks I image when I create my campaings. Beign kid? Yes yes!

Early of 90's in Indonesia. Cellphone was known as Executive Personal Phone. If you had cellphone, it could improve your credibility when you requested loan to the banks. For ordinary people, fixed phones were enough.

Nowadays. Cellphones are known as cheap phones, even beggars have cellphones too. And when you request loan to the banks, they always ask you "Do you have fixed phone in your house ?"

 

[Who Am I?]

I don't even have a house phone anymore. I never bothered to put one in when I moved because I didn't really need it. I have my cell phone. People can reach me there.

I remember the first mobile phones in the early 80's. They used to be called "bricks" because they were the size of cinder blocks.

The first computer was built I think during WW2 for codebreaking and it took up an entire room.

Depends on how you define computer. If you count purely mechanical ones which are powered simply by turning a crank, there were computers already in the 19th century.

Back to the era before internet.

If popular social network nowadays are facebook and Twitter. In Indonesia the popular social network was Citizens' Band Radio (CB Radio)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_band_radio

There were two Wave Length, 11 meters and 2 meters. But 11 meters was the most popular, 2 meters were used only by 'serious people'.

People used CB Radio to chat in the air. They also made many chatter groups, even certain groups had moderators like forum. But different than forum, CB chatter people sometime meet 'off-air', in gathering or in dating. No wonder if some people called CB Radio as "the good tool for people who want to get spouses". But same like in internet, in CB Radio world, there were some fake chatters, ages are over 40, but pretended like early 20's people to attract opposite gender.

My senior colleague was CB chatter. He meet in the air with a woman who called herself "teteh" (older sister). He thought she's only few years older than him. However, when he meet her in gathering, he's knew if that women age was almost same with his mother.

But this is not the end of the story because finally he knew, that woman has a daughter. That's why, when he told this story, he said "I was chatting in the air with my mother-in-law".

Here I mean Finland.

My dad bought a personal computer in early of 1988. Not so expensive. I used it only when i back home to Bandung. Then I took computer course. The lessons were DOS, Wordstar, Lotus, BASIC programing language, etc.

By the way, until early of 90's computer usually had "Turbo button", if you need more speed, you could push that button, and the computer would run faster.

 

[sister herb]

Do you know that Nokia is town in Finland? Before cellphones it made tires and rubber boots.

Originally Nokia is Nois.
