Hat tip to Mike for forwarding this video to me. It is comedian Louis CK on Conan talking about how spoiled we are by technology. I couldn’t agree more and often fall victim myself to the kinds of critiques he lays out in his diatribe. I am completely and totally spoiled grandparent-to-their-first-grandchild style by technological innovations.
As an early adopter, I can sometimes be quite forgiving of the little glitches in new technology, but it sometimes takes more breaths than Phelps to do so (pool or pic? You decide). I want bigger, better, faster, cheaper, more efficient, save my life in a way I did not know I needed to be saved every day.
And I want it now. Veruca Salt would be ever so proud. In fact, I am writing this post in Word because I am on a plane wishing that Alaska already had its in-flight Wi-Fi up and running as teased on the brochure. Then I could post from the plane. As it is I have to type, save and then transfer. So much work.

This has been echoing in my head since watching it, I have a new perspective on my behavior around technology. Thanks for sharing!
