Things I used today that did not exist when I started reading THE WHEEL OF TIME

This weekend, to reward myself for finishing SOUL OF SKULLS, I read A MEMORY OF LIGHT, the final volume in THE WHEEL OF TIME series. (I will have more thoughts on it later.) I read the first book back in 1998, and the world has changed quite a bit since then. It amused me to think of all the things I use on a daily basis that simply did not exist in 1998:

An Android tablet.

Wireless Internet, connected to the tablet.

The Kindle app on that tablet.

Gmail.

Google search.

Google Chrome.

Mozilla Firefox.

My cell phone.

A 2002 Ford Focus.

Windows 7.

Windows 8.

DropBox.

Evernote.

WordPress (like this website).

Ubuntu Linux.

Linux Mint.

An iPod.

Online streaming video.

The Wheel of Time turns and turns and turns…
