Every day I am astounded by the growth of our new sphere of life: the internet. So vast, I can actually call it a sphere of life. The thing is, it's become so unbelievably convenient, available, and helpful over the years. Most of you are a part of that technology savvy little generation they call, Y. We try to think of life pre-internet, and we remember what it was like to flip through a World Book encyclopedia for hours at a time, rather than browsing through Wikipedia at lightning speeds. It's weird, right? That we have this luxury at our finger tips, more or less, any time we need it. The Jetson's, the future? Please! They didn't have a clue.
I think joining Pandora really brought about this random topic. Pandora is probably old news, and yes, I had heard about it before now, but hadn't given it much thought until 2 hours prior to writing this note. And I must say, it's my new favorite discovery. An internet "radio" that is like your personal shopper for music, knows what you like just by seeing one piece of your own collection. Thank you for being so helpful, Pandora.
And Wikipedia? Don't even get me started! You really want to know the birth weight of James Earl Jones? (If you caught the Eugene Mirman reference, you are oh-so witty!) Well, my friend, you got it...just give it 2 seconds, maybe less! Amazing.
