A thought crossed my desk.
If I had lived in the middle-ages and I, only I, had the stuff that's now splayed on my desk, I would be a rich man. I could record music, play music, record video, show moving images, print pictures, and print books.
And those monks would've been so jealous... What would've taken them days to do by hand I can crank out at about 10 pages per minute. Compounded economic and technological growth really seems incredible when you think about it...

Yes, we have come a long way from handwritting everything and technology has made life easier in some respects... but sometimes it would be nice if we weren't so dependent on technology, look at all the kids who just sit infront of the t.v. playing video games instead of going outside to play in the sun. Yeah, technology is nice, but some of the old ways are just as good as before.
