I went to see Star Wars in 1977, I stood in line for hours to see the first showing in Toronto. There were no DVDs, not even VCRs in those days. I can now stream the trilogy to a tablet on my lap in bed.

Yes, this fucking piece of consumer electronics makes my heart sing. That's because I'm living in a future I couldn't even imagine when I was fifteen, and lord how I tried to imagine the future.

YMMV. It's fine with me if this doesn't blow your mind.
