Last winter we lost power for about six hours. We had no idea what to do.
Technology has changed everything. When I was younger I used to spend hours in record stores trying to track down a song that I had heard. Now I can search for a lyric fragment and buy it online and have it instantly. People I knew in high school have recently started to crawl out of the woodwork and hit me up; Kids these days will never loose touch with each other. My daughter is eight and is already in touch with friends she had from when we lived in Phoenix via email.
Just the fact that you can look anything up at any time online is stunning. I can get lost for hours reading Wikipedia going from subject to subject. A few months back I was reading about the Russian Navy and discovered there is an old missile silo two blocks from my house.
