This is also a very, very, very good thing. Do you see why?

The last time everyone knw everything there was to know about all of the technologies that were utilized in their lives was probably the stone age. It is an extremely good thing that the fraction of known technological information that the typical person can master is going down rapidly.

Boro,

You keep saying this like it's true. I can't just will myself to not feel inept when I don't know how to do very basic things. The fact that I can live and exist without doing them is nice, but it doesn't make me feel any better when I can't.

The only thing I know how to do anymore is search on Google. This makes me one of the smartest people I know. It feels great.
