Back in my day, we happily stared out the window of our stagecoach at the countryside, and if we got bored, we made conversation or robbed a bank! It's interesting that the train, newspapers, magazines, handheld games, and phones are technology. They've all changed our lives in varying ways, to varying degrees. I love this stuff because it can make it easier to connect with other people. It can also be used in anti-social ways. Even now, we're on HN discussing this, and I'm doing it from my phone, as I'm sure some others are as well. We're no longer tied to occupying the same physical space to have a conversation, but a telephone also solves that. The telephone is synchronous, but written letters would solve that. Those aren't very fast, telegrams are quite a bit more involved, and computers used to sit on desks. Now I can walk through a park and read discussions like this, think about life, and still more or less carry on a conversation with other people from all over the world. It takes tons of infrastructure and countless technological innovations to make this even possible, but that's why I love technology.
