Found my notes of inventions. Would you believe hearing aids in 1923. And a most important one in 1927 - talkies. I can remember going to the movies with my aunt who is only 10 years older than me to see a silent movie. I was reading very early and could enjoy it. Especially the comics.
In 1928 both the iron lung was perfected for use and also penicillin was made. (don't remember it being used until much later).
We didn't have credit cards until 1950. Maybe that was the downfall of some. I have always used mine with care.
In 1955 we got Polio vaccine. I took my little ones to a school where they gave. It was pretty tramatic for my John. It took 4 people to hold him down to get his.
By 1970, we had a man in space, Valium, the computer mouse, the mini skirt (what would we do with them?), The Internet, artificial heart, HTML, the lava lamp.
My little sister has been upset with herr help lately (me too!!) She only works about 2 hours a day and sits and watches TV and talks on her phone the rest of the time. Help is so hard to find that you can bond with. When they are here every day, they can be quite annoying.
Must get busy.
Love, Nena
