I'm relieved that the majority of technological advancement happened before I was born

Maybe, but there is a lot of technology advancement still happening.



the majority of technological advancement

Aren't technological advancement, by nature, always advancing/evolving? Something isn't right about that phrase. At one point in time, railway was a technology. Rail still is am evolving technology. I don't think we will stop developing, even if for now, its increasingly software rather than hardware.


Yeah. That's like the number fifteen million saying, man am I glad most of the numbers came before me. It doesn't make sense.

Unless you interpret this as a warning on the short time humanity has left or something, which is not what I think was meant.


In 25 years this kid is going to be giving his kid his iPhone and he's going to write the exact same thing about being bulky and crappy battery life (and no mind control).
