Waiting...
I'm glad I got a view of the time before cell phones, internet, etc. Granted I only got up to around 12 years old before it blew up, but it still counts for appreciation.
Went to see Harry Potter after having seen none of the movies and knowing nothing of the plot. I felt almost as confused as I do at work when I don't know what I'm doing. Kids these days have always had their cell phones and internet and the like, it's depressing. Texting friends at the movies. Wearing stupid clothes.
Thanksgiving week should be fun with no around at work.
They should make a channel that shows old shows and old commercials. How many commercials these days aren't somehow technology related. They usually feature computers, or fancy gadgets, or something else. Just saw a Fidelity commercial right after some commercial for something that I forgot, and now it's an Audi commercial about progress.
I'm ready to eliminate some jobs. But it will take some time. A lot of old people need to die off first so that the people used to technology can be leading the world. All self-checkout. All online purchases. Etc. Etc.
I need to embrace the virtual book reader thing. Flipping through 750 pages of The Brothers Karamazov is taxing. And I'd like the glossary notes to be built in so I don't have to go to the back. I'll look into it.
