The guy really puts things in perspective :)

A quote: "We live in an amazing, amazing world, and it's wasted on the
crappiest generation of spoiled idiots"

He compares today's tech with tech from 40 years ago... very funny and very
true.

I guess this ties in with the thread earlier... about predictions for the
coming year? This is more of a comparison of past tech to give appreciation
for current and future tech...

Some people just aren't satisfied with the advances in technology, right?
Things don't happen fast enough... wasn't that part of the discussion about
Moore's Law?

I wonder what this guy would say upon reading that article I posted a little
while ago ... about the 250 DVDs on a quarter :) What comes next?

Amazing stuff :)
