“The Crappiest generation of idiots”…

My brother sent me the following clip:

I didn’t know who Louis CK was before seeing this clip – but I totally agree with what he’s saying. I feel this a lot, though it usually takes someone far more eloquent/witty/famous to really capture my thoughts for me.

I do hate when people blame things on technology though… it’s not technology’s fault, it’s as he said, this crappy generation of idiots. haha I just like saying that. What it IS – is the people who are using, or rather MISusing the technology.   They just can’t deal with awesomeness, they get complacent far too quickly. I guess we’re all abit guilty of that – but it doesn’t take much time to stand back and suss out the positive/neat/cool/good aspects of the technology your’e using. Maybe i’m just some infernal optimist… who knows?

Incidentally – I love flying. I’ve only been about 5 vacations in my life where i was able to fly – and every time I am absolutley amazed by what I see. Sure I didn’t enjoy getting an ear infection and tonsilitis and then partking in an 18 hour flight over the pacific – not the BEST experience I’ve had (could actually be some of the worst pain I’ve experienced)… But I’ve had more than enough enough awesome experiences in planes to make up for that. I got to go in the cockpit of a boeing 747 when I was 8 – I don’t think they do that anymore since all the kids these days are probably terrorists or something. I’ve marveled at the French Alps, seen the sun “set” into a lack of horizon, flown at night and seen nothing but stars – and it made me wonder what astronauts feel like. What I felt, was crazy intense lonliness, and it was probably only a tiny fraction of how amazed they are.  Most recently I had the pleasure of flying into Kelowna, British Columbia. That was remarkably beautiful:

I often wish I was a rock star, or of some other occupation that would allow me to travel all over the world, with ease.  I’m sure rock stars are sick of airplanes and hotels etc… but it’s still cooler than sitting in an office (even if it is an awesome Herman Miller office).

In conclusion… technology = awesome, this generation of idiots = crappiest.

P.S. Oh, apparently my friend Stephanie’s 10 year old cousin saw a photograph of her & I, and recognized my face because “she looks like the sticker”. The sticker being the ones I got made up of my anitabot logo face:
