I picked up Ludlum's Bourne Identity the other day on whim and am just about done with it. It was published in 1981 I believe and as I was reading it I started thinking about how different it was just 25 years ago. I started counting the number of things we take for granted that they didn't have in 1981. The stuff is staggering. The Bourne Identity movie is filled with high tech jargon and computers, GPS and high tech communication. The book is filled with phone calls from different red phone booths, hand written notes passed by hand and long drives in the dark. There are no cell phones, laptop computers (the computers weren't even really fit for home yet...but close), Facebook, Twitter and GPS. It has been an entertaining read. I can totally understand how the lack of open and instantaneous communication could've led to the distrust and fear that was so rampant in those days (and earlier). It's truly amazing how active we as an online community can be in events happening half a globe away. Great post, sorry for the long response.
