Work and play today.

This blip reminds me of my mum's old type-writer. She was a typist back in the day, working in a newspaper office. I can remember the clickity-clack of the keys, the 'ting' when she got to the end of a line and the beautiful sound when she pulled a completed sheet from the roller. She made music flying over the keys with 98% accuracy.

... Anyway this is actually a modern day computer keyboard taken with an iPhone. This view is something we all spend a long time looking down at and being connected to. These days we are attached to the keyboard for work, and with social media, and computer games, for lots of play time too. It's fun, l love it but it's certainly not 'music'.

As quickly as technology changes, with smart phones, tablets and the like, I guess the computer keyboard's days are numbered like it's ancient relative, the type writer?

Where to next?
