Going through the "first time watching videos..." at work. Amazing now that I'm part time - working at home - how the computer has changed my workday.
Its seems like a long ago barbaric age, when i had to get dressed up in a suit and tie and go to work. I had to deal with paper, clunky computers and *gasp* talk to real people in person.
Talking to my daughter about it, is like someone in 1950 discussing the horse and buggy age.
Man stays the same. The same greed, stupidity, and evil nature. But our material and technological world gets better and better, as time goes on.
Which makes the Ukrainian-Russian war, so heart-breaking and surprising. Imagine it, Christian countries in the 21st century killing each other over where to draw the boundry line between 2 countries. And the insane goofy willingness of average people to go and fight and die over it. And the disgusting Cheerleading from supposedly intelligent powerful people.
But I shouldn't be shocked or amazed. Man has not gotten any better or any smarter. They just have better weapons. The fools are still fools. And the smarties at the top can get the dumbos at the bottom to do anything.
