iMac help

We have obviously become a very spoiled species with all of this electronic technology. Not long ago we had to litterally dial a phone, and cell phones were merely a dream or a movie prop of futuristic proportions. A computer was something that the Gov was playing with in the deep depths of some bunker that nobody ever heard of. We have come a very long way in the last 50 years and the impatients of peole today are so amusing. Even when computers hit the open market I remember seeing the 286's, 386's, and so on thinking how cool that was to be able to communicate without a phone. I remember that the only real clue that came to mind back then was that buying encyclopedias was going to be a dead end job soon.

Now we have become demanding about speed and accessability to the point of acting like a bunch of spoiled children that years ago would have gotten smacked for just uttering words of disatisfaction like we do today. Things have become so integrated that if our electrical system takes a big hit from some genious wack-job the likes of somebody like this Assange idiot that our way of life will come to a screeching hault, and chaos will consume all of us. Try spending a couple of weeks without all of your electronics and just look at the world from within long enough to realize that what we have now is a crying shame from where we were ten years ago. I think what we have now is a pure miracle compared to what some of us grew up with. There were no video games. TV was NBC, CBS, and a few other chanels and that was it. Reception was poor as hell, but we were grateful just to have something to watch. Can't we just be satisfied with what we have and let technology take its own pace? I am just saying.

Did this a couple of years ago thanks to hurricane Ike. It was quite liberating and nice to have people actually socializing together again.

What was sad was all the people complaining about how the electric company planned the outage and it was all their fault. I got to see first hand why Katrina turned out the way it did and I blame the individuals for the most part.

Isn't that the truth. People just get plain stupid when things get out of hand. Sometimes we all need a good lesson in humility to find out way back to reality. We live in such a fantasy world and we become complacent, lazy, and ignorant when things go off track.
