  1. Do you own a typewriter, and if so when was the last time you used it? I don't know I ever owned one.

    Do you have a phone that does not fit in your pocket? Yes. I still have a land line. Comes in handy when the power is out and one can't charge your phone. Only my family and inner sanctum has the number

    About what year did you start using computers? We had classes in middle school if I recall.

    What is the earliest computer operating system you remember working with? Hell, who knows, one of those big set ups, with the green screen tv, disk drive and keyboard do hickies.

    What new technology do you think will start to be common in the next decade? Autonomous vehicles. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2020, 2030's will be the decade in which autonomous vehicles of all kinds cars, taxis, trucks, and even ships become truly autonomous and commercially viable.
