Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?

What a fine joke! The gear-driven, proto-cybernetic hell world of 1958 now looks more like a paradise compared with our world of 2015. No digitization. Hardly any cars on the highway.

Coffee perked at home instead of provided by Starbucks. Human interaction unmediated by screens....

Take me back there now!
