原创 Photo gallery: Computer addicts

Can you still imagine what life was like before the Internet and email? I must admit that, as the years go by, I'm finding it more and more difficult to remind myself as to what things were like in "ye olden times".

I do remember when I thought that having a 15-inch black-and-white computer monitor capable of displaying only text and "chunky graphics characters" was pretty darn cool. Now, as I pen these words, I'm sitting in front of three 28-inch "mega-technicolor" displays, each with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 forming one humongous desktop. This would have completely blown me away a few years ago... now it's just the way I work.

But we digress... as I was wading through today's opening batch of emails I found one containing a bunch of pictures. I don't know about you, but I receive a lot of emails like this. Each email typically has a different theme – sometimes it's animals, sometimes it's flowers, sometimes it's ... well, just about anything, really.

Anyway, I just received an email containing images related to the way in which we (or, at least, some of us) use computers. Some are funny, some are thought-provoking, and some (especially the very last one) are a little sad...
