2454 - 3 things

Here's a short video about a lawyer's dream. How many lawsuits do you think will come out of a bus and two commuter trains colliding?




You know when a technology comes along that disrupts social interaction? Here's a perfect example.

The "technology that disrupts social interaction" reminded me of a great short book you might enjoy: "The Victorian Internet," by Tom Standage. It tells the fascinating story of how the role of the telegraph mirrored the later introduction and role of the Internet. A great read. Also, where can I get some of those old-guy remotes?

Those remotes reminded me of these GIANT ones my grandparents have. I think they must be 2/3 the size of an A4 sheet of paper.

I must be younger than I think because I don't get the old peoples remotes.

Bilbo - I'm surprised the remotes weren't taped off with duct tape.

Amanda - I know what you mean about the big remotes. I've seen them in stores.

Peg - All the nonessential buttons are covered so as not to confuse an old person.
