This three word phrase is one of the better examples, and one of my favorite quotes from him.<br /><br />I disagree on the 3D printers. I think they're super neat, and I'm sure we'll own one someday, after the prices come down.Brian R.

Oh, wait a minute, I probably am against technology in general. The 3D printers, for example, scare the sh** out of me! This has to be one of the creepiest ideas humanity came up with. Why would I want to print my shoes? <br /><br />Great post, as usual, and I am so glad you're posting more often now!Katiahttp://iamthemilk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191777732884933916.post-84199623423406035322013-05-17T08:20:41.813-07:002013-05-17T08:20:41.813-07:00I agree, Heather.

With that said, I wouldn't give them up. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and on balance we come out ahead, usually. Best thing to do is learn how to turn off the beeps.Brian R.

Give me back a rotary dial phone and I'll be satisfied. It isn't that I don't like the tech, I just think it's made us all lazy. I mean really, how many phone numbers could we remember as kids? How many can we remember today? Too many beeps indeed!HeatherLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408729050734990343noreply@blogger.com
