That video was hilarious! And so true. I remember as a kid that credit cards were such an inefficient way to pay for anything - the adults would use that messy carbon paper, and then everyone could steal your number off the copy.

We live in amazing times. I think about this a lot on my job, as I'm a computer programmer. As fast as I learn something, it's obsolete. It can be frustrating, because I'm always a beginner. I want to master something and then stay a master, y'know? But that's tough when you're in a revolution.

I read somewhere that from 500 to 1500 AD, Europe basically acquired no new knowledge. Can you imagine that? Generation upon generation, nothing is different. Nothing will be different for your great-grand children. Time stands still.

Anyway, that may be an exaggeration, but the amount of change is staggering.

Anyway, not to hijaack the thread. Everyone goes through rough patches and personally I believe in the power of complaint. Who knows, one day on YT someone may say, hey, I have the perfect job for you, or there's a new miracle medication out there for ear infections. Putting your problems out there can make you feel better just by venting, but sometimes when you complain, things actually get solved.
