effects of modern technology

Found this stuff on rediff.com ....a user had commented bout the effects of modern technology on our lives....


Scene in an office in the year 1950.
Colleagure A wants to pass a message to Colleague B. He goes across to his desk and tells his message.
Scene in 1970 -A sends a Inter Office Memo to B.
Scene in 1980 - A picks up the intercom and speaks to B.
Scene in 1990 -A faxes the message to B.
Scene in 2000 -A emails the message to B.
Scene in 2008 -
A says to B on intercom - Hey B , what is your fax number?
B - My fax is under repair. Can you mail it.
A - My system is down.B - Can you SMS it.
A - Too long. And I forgot your mobile number.
B - Damn I also forgot what my mobile number is.
A - Ok, go back and check your mobile number and SMS me your number. And in return I will SMS you when my system is right again and send through the message. If not you can SMS me when your fax is repaired so that I can fax it. OK?
B - Hey that is a good idea.
The next day B's fax is repaired. He sends SMS and asks A to fax it.Now A has a different problem. He has forgotten what was the message he wanted to convey !!

Hehehee ...hahaha ... very true indeed!!
