What a time to live.

What a time to live.
You flip a switch and there, the room is lit.
You turn a knob and water flows into your sink.
You sit down at your computer and are able to communicate with someone from the other side of the world.
You can send a letter from Florida to Alaska for 37 cents.
If you’re hot, you can pull a cord from the ceiling and blades will circulate the air to cool you.
You can let your fingers do the walking and call across the planet through wires and satellites.
People come and take your trash from you every week.
Toilet paper is quilted for our comfort.
Invisible waves travel through the air constantly and are made into sounds and pictures by our radios and television sets, respectively.
Although we may not realize it, air, the one substance that keeps us alive is all around us at any given moment.
So when you think you have it bad, take a look at all the things you have and try not to take them for granted.

A time without cloaking technology.
No flying cars, no we have to destroy mass amounts of potential park land for strange little things with wheels.
We have to wait 3 damn minutes to cook our food.
People die. (thats the worst one)
Our greatest hand-held weapons are still stupid little things that basically amplify your power to throw things at people.
People have to move to lose weight.
Downloads can take up to 5 minutes (cable)… thats a long time.
We lose an hour of our lives ever spring. (daylight savings)
Thing have to be put together and built in factories. (we need star trek class replicators)
We still have to wear belts to keep our pants up.
We have no technology to assist floating in mid-air. (of a single person)
No one lives on Mars.
It takes 3 hours to get to Orlando.
Next time you think you have it good, think about these things and be prepared for everything we will eventually have
