Life is good...!
Yeah, that! It really is good to stop every now and then, to marvel at the technology we enjoy today.
I have the equivalent of hundreds of LPs, on a device that I can carry in my pocket.
I can follow sports from every country in the world, in detail
I can show my friends crystal clear satellite images of the town in which I grew up.
I can call my wife from the top of a mountain to ask her to put beer in the fridge for when I get home.
I can find the answer to millions of questions, in seconds
And it still amazes me that someone can take a photograph on the other side of the world, and I can see it moments later.
I sometimes get nostalgic for the old days, but there's a lot I would miss if we were to turn the clock back.
