Everything's Amazing, Nobody's Happy

Louis C. K. breaks down how technology is spoiling us.



I've been thinking about this recently, the differences in my life, say 12 years ago versus today. Today, I loose my **** if I accidentally leave the house without my cell phone or ipod or whatever, back then I'd be out all day with nothing in my pockets except a few bucks. Back then, I knew people's phone #s, everybody's. Today, I struggle to come up with 4 that I know by heart.

Of course this is comedy, and there's alot of generalizations, but I think there's some interesting underlying truths there, like the tendancy to expect too much. The sense of entitlement is something I see regularly, which strangely makes me, a 27 year old guy, feel like my grandpa. I sometimes wanna grab some of the kids i see these days (or even people my own age) whining about really petty stuff, and shake some sense into them. I'm a bartender, and the other day I overheard this girl flipping out because she was having trouble uploading the picture she just took, to her facebook page! I could only laugh to myself, as it seemed everyone else present, could relate.
