Another thing that I find annoying – and this certainly isn’t limited to electric cars – is that manufacturers seem to be competing to produce the most-easily-dropped car keys. I’m always a bit paranoid, especially if I park on...

Just too creepy!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 11 May 25

This electric car is just too creepy for me. The actual driving experience is OK, in fact it’s quite nice once you get used to the differences between an electric motor and an internal combustion engine – but all the electronics...

More about unwanted features

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 12 Mar 25

This follows on from my post about annoying features in my car… The one thing I can’t resolve in our now-shared car, is that with this car, you can’t open the boot (trunk) just by lifting the catch in the ‘old-fashioned’ way –...

A wish list – or is it a not-wish list?

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 12 Mar 25

The car I had twenty years ago had few ‘modern’ features. It had wind-up windows, an air-bag for the driver, and no annoying alarms. The doors were unlocked by putting the key in the lock. When that one was sadly written off by...

This Is The Day

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 29 Nov 24

I am whining about certain things in life aside from seeing the name of my mom in a mobile app that I am using lately. It happens that one of the participants from my livestream joined in. It happened last night while I was having...

Do traditional wallets more durable than modern ones?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3853) • India 29 Aug 24

Physical wallets have been a cornerstone of personal organization when it comes to carrying cash, cards or identification cards. Leather or fabric, they come in various styles and designs. For some, the wallets also serve as a...

Decided we might as well

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 27 Jun 24

Bob was home for awhile, but then had an errand back in McPherson. Recently McPherson has opened a restaurant that is part of a regional chain that we have liked in the past. So we wanted to try it. Prices have gone up, again....

How things have changed!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 13 Oct 23

Change often happens slowly and gradually, so that we don’t realise quite how much has happened until something brings the situation into sharp focus. At an agricultural show in the summer there was a parade of tractors, and that...

Modern technology is not making this any easier

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 29 Sep 23

I wanted to invite a couple of friends and their families round tomorrow evening to make the most of this ‘last gasp of summer’ that we are currently enjoying. I texted one to ask if she was free and she replied within a few...

What negative impacts has technology had on your life?

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 28 Sep 23

Personally speaking, I am enjoying my life using modern technology. I am using them wisely by earning decent money online. Unlike the others, they tend to be abusive and cheaters when it comes to scamming people. They do not want...

Modern childhood

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 19 Feb 23

Last week we visited an aquarium. In fact we spent the entire afternoon in there enjoying all the different things to see. But one thing that startled me somewhat was not an unusual sea creature, but rather, an all-too-common...

Do you use touch and pay?

Babes Says @BabeSays (8795) • Mauritius 25 Jan 23

I've heard a lot about touch and pay. I did disable mine on my card. But I see how it can be useful and handy when friends forget your wallet and pays using their watches or phone. Have you ever use touch and pay services?

Back In The Day.

Kandase @Kandae11 (57233) 10 Jan 23

Modern kitchens certainly do not look anything like those from back in the day. In a modern kitchen, you will see a counter lined with all kinds of appliances designed to make food preparation much easier for the person who does...

While ambling around the city, this morning, I spotted these two pubs with strange names. The first was called The Wild Monkey and seemed to be part of a hotel and the second is the Theodore Bullfrog. About ten years back, I...

The Era of Connectedness with a Twist

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 12 Feb 22

Don't be alarmed with the word 'twist.' I am sure that all of us are feeling grateful that modern devices were invented, such as smartphones and the like. I can simply say that we are in the 'era of connectedness.' Wondering why...

Question: "How did writing become easier?"

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 2 Dec 21

After the invention of modern gadgets, some people stopped making so many handwritten notes. For my niece, I am encouraging her to practice handwriting with the use of cursive in English. She can do it but prefer to write in...

Question: "What can happen if you have too much of something?"

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 14 Sep 21

When I was a young kid, my granny always tells us not to feel so happy. For it will result in having the opposite thing to happen. Personally, I always contradict the old beliefs because there is no basis at all. In the modern...

The First Bicycle Made Me Think Hard…LOL

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 6 Mar 21

I am not sure if you had seen the first bicycle that was invented in 1817. It was created in Germany. I thought the Chinese were the ones who invented it. If you can see in this photo, it doesn’t have pedals or a chain. How to use...

Wax Mallow to Bubbles

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 3 Jan 21

In my country, some children use 'wax mallow' and powdered laundry soap to make bubbles. It is easy because you are only going to mix them. Now, there are so many commercialized bubble products in the market. However, modern kids...
