What an incredible time in human history to be alive! First, I get to sit in a chair and zoom 100 miles away to the land of snow. On the journey I can pick from 10,000 songs hiding in a slab the size of a box of candy. Then, I sit in another chair that whisks me to the top of a mountain so that I can fly down over and over. Next, I get to show it to my friends all over the world - that evening! If that weren't enough, I have ibuprofen for the day after. Eat your heart out Andrew Carnegie, Ghengis Khan, Cleopatra, Louis XIV and all y'all, rich, famous and dead.
