He's spot on with his assessment of the "millennial" generation who expect instant gratification and whine when they don't get it. I'd like to smack them upside the head with a rotary phone, crap, the cord won't stretch that far!<br /><br />Mmmm, pears.EMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268824004162940395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-61078498443070858222009-05-01T14:23:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:23:00.000-04:00That clip was amazing because:

What about basic CABLE?! Which was supposed to have NO COMMERCIALS because you paid a subscription (kind of like today's satellite radio). And for the record, while I did take the Madison Ave. bus to school when I was younger, I often walked the mile when I was in high school, even in the snow. Of course, that was before there were Segways and motorized scooters. ; )J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10888193975667450910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-87080121236818625972009-05-01T10:16:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:16:00.000-04:00That was a funny clip! I love his comment of the ...That was a funny clip! I love his comment of the man cursing because his Wifi on the airplane went out for a minute: "[we] think the world owes us something we didn't know existed until 2 minutes ago."<br /><br />But the worst example of "slow" things he came up with was rotary phones? (members of my family still have and use these!)<br /><br />How about typewriters? I remember using a manual typewriter in grade school (as in you pushed the metal pole at the end of each line)! My teachers considered me a visionary because I was the only kid who could type! <br /><br />And what about carbon copies? Copying machines were not used widely. And those purple-ink mimeographed hand outs we received school that everyone immediately sniffed? (the 70's version of huffing!) <br /><br />How about black and white TV's with three channels and rabbit ears? When HBO was invented, anyone who "paid for it" was considered rich!<br /><br />Soon I'll be telling my young daughters how I walked 5 miles to school in the snow barefoot! (Or more accurately, took the 86th cross-town bus to school and had to (gasp) stand!)Lizzynoreply@blogger.com
