DAYS OF MY YOUTH - Growing up on Kauai
Myron Kashima TECHNOLOGY!Wow! What a year 2012 has been - The elections, stock market gyrations, the economy, advances in medicine, etc.
One area that has blown my mind is in the area of personal electronics - games, iphones, tablets, leap pads... At this time last year, I would not have guessed that the proliferation of these devices would have continued and actually accelerate! They have invaded every corner of our lives.
I can remember a simpler time when the only entertainment device was either the radio or TV. Growing up in the plantation camp, most homes did not have a TV so we used to go to our aunt's house to watch their TV. We'd all sit around the large TV set and watch the latest programs together as a family - shows like Gunsmoke, Davy Crockett, Red Skelton, all in black and white. Remember?
Auwe! How much technology has progressed in such a short period of time - and how much as a society we have REGRESSED at the same time!
Happy New Year! - Myron

HAIKU FARMS MINUTE (Monthly update on the rebirth of our family farm on Kauai) 
Hi.... No good news this month. It has been very windy and rainy. I remember dad telling me that you do not work the soil when it is saturated. Too muddy. Nothing will grow. Yes, winter is here.
Happy New Year to all!
