Yes, I just googled it. I am therefore eminently qualified to discuss such matters.

Swoon 🍆
Yes it is.
Aaannd I growded it myself.

I used to grow stuff in the garden to eat. But then I realised that when it was ready to eat, by strange coincidence there was a pile of cheap fresh veg in the shops and markets grown by people like you who are good at it.
My former veg plot is now planted with shrubs that need nothing other than attacking with a hedge trimmer once a year.
I enjoy my garden again.

My fantasy retirement garden comprises a courtyard, paved with Yorkstone flags.
Two pots of lavender in the corner.
With a fragrant wisteria trellised above, that someone else prunes.
And a couple of steamer chairs

It got replaced by the holiday video which got replaced by you tube channels.
“Hey want to watch my youtube video and subscribe to my channel?”

I regularly did 60+ hours a week, my record time sheet was 103 hours but that did involve a 37 hour stint (admittedly with 2 hours sat in the Van being driven to Olympia in that there London.)Well, you can console yourself in having earned nearly double what I earned in my highest-paid year and about 4.5 times what I live on now!

I enjoy the palpable sigh of relief when I tell people at conferences / talks / webinars that there is scarce, to no PowerPoint to accompany my talk.
Maybe just some pictures of vegetables with googlie eyes accompanying the dull stats.
And some props

Everything good was 20 years ago, that's an immutable law of nature.

A bit like all the latest and great inventions will be ready and in common use in 5-10 years.

After loving the very early Star Trek series I was really chuffed when I got my first flip-top phone (beam me up Scottie). If they did a decent one, not the geriatric versions, with good camera, screen, and possibly internet access, I'd still have one.
