There is no doubt technology has advanced our lives. The very fact that I am sat here, bashing my thoughts into a laptop which will soon upload my musings to a live webpage is testament to that fact.
A few years ago there simply wasn't any such thing as an on-line Blog and a few years before that if someone had mentioned the word laptop you would have thought it was something you used to eat your dinner off in front of the TV.
However, there is one aspect of my life that hasn't been enhanced by technology and that is my love of sport, in its purest form. My tolerance for technological invention in the sporting arena stops at the development of 24-hour day satellite sports channels. In every other way, technological enhancement has diminished my love of watching sport.
Take football, the game I grew up loving and am now lucky enough to watch for a living. How has technology enhanced the game? I can't think of one thing.
Perhaps it is that devotion to nostalgia that I used to bemoan in my own father but now equally embrace, but wasn't football coverage better a decade ago?
