Let's explore just a bit....what used to be, and what is. I just ordered an LED lantern online.
Let's break that down. Just a few years back, a camping lantern (Coleman) ran on unleaded gas, and you had to pump the bejabbers outta that sucker.
Before that, the old kerosene lamp, with a wick.
And we used to have to walk to school barefoot in the snow, two miles, uphill, both ways!!! ( Not really, but a lot of things are easier nowadays.)
If you wanted information, not only was it hard to locate, but you usually had to pay for it (one way or another) either directly, or in fuel to get to the library.
I can't even tell you how much money I spent to get educated by mail. (Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery!)
That's right folks, that was standard, now, you can get crap from China faster.
And just learning taxidermy, I got a buttload of useless crap before I found the right source.
Now, you just punch a keyboard and get it for free. (Yeah yeah I know, you gotta pay for the cervix, but WTHey, you need it anyway to text your nerd friends while you're holding up traffic or causing accidents.)
