Chronicle of a Telephone Chappie by Peter Charles James
This Chronicle opens a fascinating window revealing life during the Second World War and the decades following it, and how everyone has benefited by developments in technology. Future generations will be interested to learn how ordinary people fared during the twentieth and early twenty-first century. During this period there was so much innovation, which included home ownership, university education, universal medical care, washing machines, central heating, wall-to-wall carpets, high-definition televisions, computers, social media, car ownership and overseas travel. Subsequently many of these became universally available and are now be taken for granted by succeeding generations. During the late 20th century a generation of dedicated telecommunications engineers worldwide, provided the basis for important innovations which enabled world events to be accurately reported at home and across international borders counteracting propaganda and false news from rogue states. This narrative is a compelling invitation for readers to grasp every opportunity that presents itself and exploit the most adventurous life possible. It shows it is never too late to get out of a rut and combat mid-life blues. It is always possible to do something extraordinary, live life to the full and eventually look back on a fulfilled existence.
Peter Charles James enjoyed an amazing career in Telecommunications, which has taken him from apprentice to senior manager, and included working in the Czech Republic, Nigeria and Tanzania. He has always had a keen interest in emerging technology and how everyone’s lives have been enhanced by the evolution of the digital age. The horror of the second World, when he was a child, evoked everlasting memories prompting this Chronicle.
