Interview the Person below you?

This morning, and it was bloody cold. The house is 20m from the high-tide line.

Does technology make life easier, or more complicated?

Definitely more complicated. Now you can't go anywhere without being contacted by someone. If you don't answer your mobile people say why don't you want to talk to me? You just can't get away from the world anymore. And while things like shopping, banking etc have become easier, computers have just swamped us with more things to do and, unlike we were promised, created more paperwork. Sometimes I would love to just throw the phones, computers etc into the bin and just chill out by the pool for a week :D

Are you one of those people that just has to have the latest gadget?

Even though I have a degree in IT etc, I have to say that electronic gadgets do nothing for me. My cell phone is 3 years old, and usually sits on the bed-side table all day, often without a charge on it, my lap-top is nearly five years old etc etc etc.

There was a story in the news last week about Jamie Oliver not allowing his 11 year old to have a cell phone. How old do you think is old enough for you kids to have one?

I don't have kids, but I would say about 14 or 15. When they begin to really have a close circle of friends and probably start hating the parents.

Should we (human race) try to land people on Mars?

In short yes. The question I guess is when? And when we do is one nation going to stick a flag in it and try and claim it as their own property.
Eventually (maybe hundred years from now) humanity will set up colonies off Earth. Mars might very well be the place to start. If you are interested in these ideas try reading some Ben Bova books, he wrote a series about settling on other Solar system planets, and many of his ideas are credible.

What do you think is the most important invention ever invented?

The motorised vehicle. In that I mean cars, bikes, trucks, trains, aeroplanes etc. It made traveling great distances easy, brought the world closer together and made it possible to develop faster. The pace of growth over the last 100 odd years has been frankly phenomenal, thanks in no small part to transport solutions.

Where do you see mankind in 100 years time?

Almost impossible to say. We have come so far in 100 years like you said. Who knows what un-trodden path will be explored by then.

Do think the Panada will exist in 100 years time?

I hope so! Traditions are important and if I remember correctly the Panada is a traditional Scottish or English dish isn't it? I remember having had one before :)

What was / is your mothers cooking like? ( be careful here guys :p: )

Decent, without being epic. Don't worry she wont ever be reading this.

When did you last laugh out loud?

about 5 minutes ago, laughing is good for the soul etc etc etc blah blah blah... :laugh:

Are you a leader or a follower
