sorry this is random, but I thought it was funny. I am one of the spoiled idiots of this generation, but several things made me laugh... "rotary phone" "writing yourself a check" "it's going to space" "seat in the sky" hope you enjoy!
Yes I thought it was funny too. It is so true. Just the other day Shayne and I were irritated at the length of time it took to get text messages back and forth.
O.K. This is Tim. I found this funny too. Illustration: my kids asked me once, what kind of computer I had in college. When I told them that I did not have a computer, and that, actually, NO ONE had a computer, they asked, well, how did you do research? I then had to explain what a library was! Illustration #2: When I graduated from law school & passed the bar, I purchased $20,000 of BOOKS. In less than 5 years, they were made obsolete by the INTERNET! NOW, just think about the advances that will come. I mean just today I had to explain to Jacob what "black & white" t.v. was. When he heard that we only had 3-4 channels and NO REMOTE, I think he thought I was lying! My office partner just had her knee replaced with a TITANIUM joint. That's Terminator stuff! Wasn't he made out of Titanium? The amazing thing is she was walking on it THE SAME DAY as surgery! We live in a world that buries those who don't stay ahead of the curve. I am only 45 yrs old and feel like an old man. If you had told me when I was in law school that someday MY ENTIRE CD COLLECTION (yes, I had a new-fangled cd player!) would fit in a thing slightly larger than a credit card, I would have laughed! Its an IPOD! What a deal; I either need to invent something, win the lottery or be taken away by aliens!

I always hated when you got the 7th number and dialed the wrong #! Maybe it was just me! : ) Thanks for sharing!
