John, I'm just a youngster (65), and I want know part of that. Technology is great, but so is the human experience.
Here is some useless facts about technology on a slow Saturday morning. The Shakers, a very religious group of about 2,200 members living in communes all over the northeast, and as far west as Ohio and down to Tennessee, were founded by an English woman, (I think her name was Ann Lee).
