Big Boys and their......Toys

I accept the fact that we live in a very hi-tech age.
I might not understand exactly how a laser beam or a microchip can possibly work, but for someone who has a knowledge of physics, it all seems quite possible and even predictable.
Yet some of the ’toys’ and ‘gadgets’ on the market blow my mind.
Others.... I find very intriguing.
Using my digital camera with my computer is fascinating to me. I download digital pictures and make “My Pictures” the screen saver. Seeing my family and boating activities flash before my eyes on the screen... is FUN.
My daughter, Lynn, was just now talking to me on the phone.
Lynn said that last night her husband, Tony, asked her to put her hand on the screen of his small pocket PC so he could get her fingerprints.
She resisted.....didn’t want her prints taken for anything useless....
Tony explained that his iPAQ pocket PC contained a ....biometric fingerprint security feature, which enabled only the owners fingerprints made on the Pocket PC..... usable. He wanted her to be able to access information as well as him. Therefore the ‘toy’ needed both their fingerprints. If the Pocket PC was lost or stolen....it was unusable to anyone else. It could be powered on but that is all....no info could be accessed.

Again, the GPS’s our boating family and friends have.....are phenomenal.
Sam, our Okeechobee nautical friend, bought the top-of-the-line GPS for last summer’s Bahamas trip. Fascinating information at the touch of screen....Yet when the 10 ft. seas became the crossing companion from West End, Bahamas to Stuart, Florida the GPS reflected precisely and accurately the location......but manpower.....and womanpower.....became the skill and expertise of the day.
Therefore......no matter how hi-tech we get......human involvement is still the norm in operation.
We humans can not be replaced.......brainpower along with brawn.....is still the most plentiful energy source around.
You and I are vital.......to all of life.
Thank God......He made us so....... completely wonderful.

Psalm 139:14 says.....”I praise You, God, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
