I remember when silicon valley work life balance meant wandering around the cube farms as a little kid and seeing all the old people napping in their sleeping bags under their tables.
You step outside and the particular business park you were in was separated by miles of nothing in between. So after you get up, realize what time it was, you get in a car and drive a solid fifteen minutes without seeing many others.
Then when you get home you try to explain or relate to others about what it is you're doing they just don't care. They're busy with their television sets or radio or magazine. This internet thing you keep talking about won't ever take off.
Now it's still the same. People are still busy with their tvs but it's called youtube, they're busy with their radio but it's called instagram and they're busy with their magazines but its called Facebook.
Worse it takes me 40 minutes to drive two miles through the town and everything old is getting torn down to be rebuilt as high density four story duplex condos.
The cool thing is now is to disconnect. Funny how that reverb goes.
