He’s 94 86 years old and he’s got gadgets more than the regular yuppie.
To start, he has two iPods! Two! He uses these sleek white iPods to store more than 3,000 songs ranging from classical, to 60’s music, to Disney, to sound of music etc. He has two sets of mobile speakers for the iPods. He also has a home-made amplifier which helps to make a resounding WOOF that fills the room with his music.
He has a Sony Vaio, 13” widescreen, highly portable, with WiFi. It was the top-of-the-line Vaio when he bought it mid-2005 to replace his previous 3-year-old Sony Vaio.
He needs some help with his eyesight, so he has at least three 18++ inch flat-screen monitors at his office and homes so he doesn’t have to squint too much.
He has a webcam to chat with his children, grand-children and great grand-children.
He has a couple of digital cameras to record his travels, his parties (party on, lolo!) and to remember faces of his students.
He has PLDT DSL in two of his homes, dial-up for back-up, WiFi when he’s at his office or around town. Konti nalang, he just might get PLDT WeRoam for seamless internet connection wherever he travels. (More about PLDT WeRoam in the coming days).
He’s got an ordinary cellphone, the type that comes with the Smart Kid or Globe Gizmo subscriptions (in other words, the “loseable” type cellphone).
And, one of my favorites, he’s got a retractable cane to boot, sleek and silver just like his iPod!
Most people his age are probably idling away their time.
Techie Lolo is spending his time traveling, teaching, writing books, sending e-mails, organizing parties and most especially learning something new everytime! (He started scuba diving at age 80+).
Our techie lolo; At 94 86 years, ripe and old, and always something new up his sleeve.

He’s only 86 naman…
His retractable cane is actually a monopod - for his digital camera.
Thanks!

Yup, it sure looked like a monopod for a camera. Tough monopod for a tough man.
Age correction made.

That lolo rocks!
Wonder how techie we would be if the time comes na mga Lolo na rin tayo?
Would we grow old? Maybe by that time I would be able to upload my brain into one of Googles virtual storage bins. My collective consciousness in a form of bits and bytes streamed to a wireless robot 360 lightyears away. Still pondering who really won the last election, in an eternal battle with spam, hacking on self aware virtual economics using post stalinist influenced algorithms for equal wealth distribution.
Sigh… Obvious na walang magawa ano? ka edong.
cheers!

He proves that the human will is stronger than gravity! He is indeed amazing . . . even for a young man! I wish the age factor were not so magnified because it has nothing to do with the indomitable human spirit!
