I mean really. I often forget about it because I like many other people out there just take it for granted and we use it everyday.

It’s really insane being able to call someone from any given location (well if you signal lol) to anywhere on this globe. You can write an e-mail and the person will read it with little no delay.

Heck, we can be living in a polar climate zone and be in tropical climate zones within a day if you have the spare money to fly.

110 years (1914) people installed the first air conditions in their homes. I don’t know how life was without but I can imagine.

We can buy food in a store and keep the food cool and frozen for however long we want in our own homes.

    We’re definitely in some sci-fi future where we have small telecommunications computer devices in our pocket with robots doing jobs in hospitals and restaurants and AI running rampant on a world wide computer network. There’s also a big ass space station orbiting earth.

    And with all the corporations and mega billionaires’ influence on government, this has really become some kind of William Gibson Neuromancer type cyberpunk future.

      i agree its kind of awesome having the sum total of human knowledge at our fingertips.

      i wouldnt call the space station huge though. based on my childhood, i expected a moon base by now.
