Childhood on a Disc

I'm sure there are some here that will understand this.

When I think of "Windows," "Microsoft" or "computer game," I immediately think of XP. It's interesting how large an impact something like that can make on a person. Windows XP wasn't the genesis of the Windows operating systems, but it was my operating system. It was the one I learned on, it was the one I gamed on when I was a kid, and it was the one I reluctantly gave up for a more modern system (Windows 7 Pro, seen reflecting in the background). When I am older, and I think back on my childhood, I'll have plenty of memories to relish, but one of the fondest will be of something rather utilitarian and simple. I will never forget the sound of fans spinning up, a hard drive clicking away, and the boot up sound of good old Windows XP.

Limits

Here's an interesting thought. Does technology enable us to explore the world, or hinder us from it? We have so much information at our fingertips, yet we barely go outside.

The title of this photo is "Limits" - referring to the limits technology imposes on us (the fact that the shot was taken inside) and referring to the sky you can see in the picture. Because the sky is the limit, isn't it?

The most ironic part about all this is I'm sharing it on the internet.
