content: You and me both, brother.  As someone obsessed with technology from the time I had the motor skills to take things apart, I have always dreamed of living in a world where everything you interact with is brimming with modern technology.  Everything connected and synced and the world of digital information at your fingertips no matter where you are. Sadly, I too have had my utopian vision shattered in front of me by the harsh realities of greed and control over others.  Now you couldn't pay me to drive a modern car or have a smart TV or any of the others dozens of home automation gadgets that are available these days because they all rely on outside connections and they all end up with you giving control of your most important and expensive assets in life to a corporation or a government that has shown it has absolutely no problem pissing all over your liberties for the sake of profit and authority.    Sucks fucking balls dude, we have so much potential to do amazing things even with the technology we already have and instead we dump all of our energy into consumerism and war-mongering. We don't deserve this much power, we obviously can't handle it and it's going to be messy when it all breaks down, because we all know it will at some point. Maybe we'll get it right the second time around.
