Is there something that is considered a modern invention that you could not live without?

Is there something from your childhood that you still wish you had today, or still have and use?

Is there just one thing that has been invented during your lifetime that you think is just the best thing ever.

For me it would have to be the internet grin

That's understood, I have the advantage in that, I'm entering my second childhood and I'll soon be younger than all of you, except perhaps, Keith :mrgreen:

Do you have to pay more for it the second time around? Like those Atari game machines that seem to have attracted a huge nostalgia tax. Or Beanos -which now cost nearly a quid!

internet for sure
On-line banking especially combined with an ING account.
From childhood, I would have to say, the innocence that is lost when you start school, life starts to become complicated.

Did you see the program, "Connections", I tend to think like that so each thing has roots, and those roots have roots...... but I would say, the transister, it made small radios, TVs, and computers practical, and hence, the internet.

I have'nt put any money into an ING account although I should, but check this out, I don't know if it works for expats but it may as it was in the Telegraph Expat Bulletin: Telegraph Bulletin
My guitar.

When I clicked on that link there was an article called: "Students are given lessons on how to keep their virginity". Does it work for expats? Is it advisable for people with an ING account? Is it too late for a mother of three????
