For twenty years after people remembered house calls and thought the new way was inferior. Sure the new way was more "efficient" but was it really better?
I am currently trying to read through the book Leisureville, The author has visited alot of older retirement communities. Some of them aren't faring very well. People wonder what will happen when the boomers come and go.
Technology...You go places and people don't look at you because they are too busy texting or talking into cell phones. How has that made our quality of life better? We had a big train wreck in Boston a few weeks ago because the driver was texting his girlfriend.( well it was a girl who was switching over to be a boy and was calling his/her girlfriend...another modern phenomenon... not that there's anything wrong with that)
I don't know where I was going with this.....oh yea..changes. Are they always better????

I don't think you could say this is a hard read?
