Sometime modern technology shocks me. I know that with WiFi, smartphones, EZPass, red-eye reduction technology, YouPorn etc you almost never have to deal with people anymore. This is obviously pleasant in a 1000 ways because the people you're avoiding are usually heavily tattooed, pierced and calorie indulged. I know there are discussions about job creation but if you look at the numbers the unemployment rate for college grads is in the 5% range while that for high-school dropouts is about 15%. Basically we don't want to deal with these types anymore and technology helps us avoid them and sometimes we find that not only is it more pleasant, it is better too
Last Tuesday night I went online and ordered a bunch of supplies from Diapers.com which any parent knows is the biggest life-saver out there. Well I can't speak for all scenarios but I was shocked when I logged into my account the next morning to make an adjustment to the order I placed 8 hours earlier and found out the goods were already shipped. I place an order at 10:30pm and by 6:30am it is already on a truck. Well that isn't the craziest thing about it, I show up at work and am told I had a delivery at 8:15am before I got there.
and by the way the shipping charge is free.
