Answer a Question with a Question...

[Rosemarie]

Yes, I know what you mean. At a time like this, aren't you grateful for the internet?

 

[hollydolly]

Could you imagine not having the use of the internet now especially if you live alone ?

 

[Rosemarie]

I was introduced to the internet by my son....and was soon spending hours chatting to people all over the world and buying things on ebay. I haven't lost that enthusiasm for it. Do you know how information is transferred to the web, surely it isn't all typed in by someone?

 

[hollydolly]

Could you imagine someone sitting in their back bedroom, typing all the data into the internet ?

 

[Kaila]

I don't know either, but wouldn't it be fun to imagine many sorts of scenarios, like that one,
as to how so much info gets onto the Internet?

 

[Kaila]

(OH, could it be @Rosemarie 's son, who is doing what @hollydolly described ? )

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think Rosemary's son might be called Steve ?

 

[Kaila]

How does he get (receive?) all of the info that he types into the Internet, at all hours of night?

 

[StarSong]

Or are there 3 billion Steves typing into the internet at all hours of the day and night?

 

[hollydolly]

Steves with 'jobs'' is that how that came to be ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Well, that question got you all thinking, didn't it! It just shows how we take it for granted that anything we want to know is there on the internet, but we don't wonder how it all gets there!
I'm wondering now who Steve is...?

 

[hollydolly]

Might you be the only one whose never heard of Steve Jobs ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Oh dear...yes, I must admit ignorance. I obviously need to get out more!
Will someone be kind enough to enlighten me?

 

[hollydolly]

Steven Paul Jobs was an American inventor, designer and entrepreneur who was the co-founder, chief executive and chairman of Apple Computer. Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology.

Are you the type of person who has no interest in the inventor of an item only the use ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, I suppose I am. Just because someone has been given the credit for inventing something, doesn't mean they were the first person to do so.
What's for dinner today...turkey rissoles, turkey curry, or soup and turkey sandwiches?

 

[mike4lorie]

Is three days in a row not enough turkey for awhile?

 

[hollydolly]

Is anyone like me and never eat Turkey ?

 

[mike4lorie]

Can you eat it in small quantities like me?

 

[Rosemarie]

Did anyone else have a turkey substitute?

 

[hollydolly]

Is anyone vegan like my husband ?

 

[StarSong]

During the holidays do you relax or suspend some of your stricter dietary standards?

 

[Rosemarie]

I'm definitely not counting calories just now. Are we all planning to go on a diet in the New Year?

 

[StarSong]

Have you managed to not gain weight during crazy 2020?

 

[hollydolly]

has anyone (aside from those who are ill) managed to not gain weight during 2020 ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Why is it that we can use our will-power to get down to a healthy weight, but gradually, the weight creeps back?
