Souped Up CB’s Only With Video

Anyone remember the days of CB’s, Citizen Band Radio’s limited to mere 4 watts of transmitting power and whatever kind of antenna and/or  tower you wanted to put together. CB’s were in just about every home in the country and mobile cb’s in just about every vehicle on the road.  Everyone had their favorite channels to talk on and breaks would come fast and furious over the public airways.  Profanity happened on occasion although it was frowned upon by the FCC, and for a few years it was all the rage.  On a good day during heavy skip you could sometimes even reach as far away as  other states and on a very good day even Australia.  Like all fads though CB’s have mostly died out and  went  to CB heaven although a few are still in operation.  All of that changed with a computer and broadband replacing the old CB in almost every home.  Now you can video chat (live video and audio) with anyone in the world that has a computer, web cam and internet connection.  Just like old kirky baby used to do on Star Trek way back in the hippie days of the 60′s.

And it didn’t stop at the computers in the home, moved right on into the tiny little cellular phone barely as big as a credit card and only a few millimeters thicker.  In the old days you had to pull the map out of the glove compartment to keep track of where you were and which route to take to get to your destination, or stop and ask.  These days just punch in the destination on  the trusty lil ole cell phone and through the magic of GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), have a visual display of the route displayed on the tiny little screen  and voice turn by turn directions as well.  On some  vehicles you can even call up something called  Starsight and talk with a live operator, “hello operator”.

    Hi everyone

    Just introduce myself: I am a man (says my wife), I am 50 years old (hmm, that looks bad isn’t it?) and I am a terrible bad programmer (I say myself).
    My hobbies: computer (of course), my 17 years old son and of course my wife. I like to play billiard, I do a very little bit and very simple programming in VB and I try to make a site for my billiard-club in the near future.

    big respect , John from Online Payday Loans !

    Thank you, I hope you have the good sense not to come near Arkansas. People in this neck of the woods are out right crazy, Little Rock Housing Authority won’t even let you smoke in your own apartment anymore. And that does include quite a few other apartments complex’s in Little Rock Arkansas. You should read up on some of the other idiotic laws Arkansas has on the books.
