YOU CAN NOW MAKE MORE MONEY

than your grandparents did. You can also drive really fast, and you can change your sex. You can find friends without having to go to church, and you can see movies in your own house. You can get pictures of naked people almost anywhere, and you can curse out loud freely. You can buy dinner in a box and not have to wash anything after you eat it. You can fly to any city you want and meet a sexual partner, or you can talk to them on the phone. You can have bright light twenty-four hours a day without having to clean soot off the walls, and you can listen to any music you want, anytime, anywhere. You can find people everywhere who like exactly the same things you do, and you can print your own books. You can buy vegetables from the other side of the earth, and you can build a house in a day. You can be perfectly warm or cool at every moment, and you can stay in school all your life. You can have sex fourteen thousand times and not have a baby, or you can junk it cheaply if it's the wrong time. You can write with pens that don't dry out, or leak, or have to be plucked from a bird, and you can hear about people being hacked to death thousands of miles away. You can see pictures through telescopes almost to the end of space and from the beginning of time, and you can keep milk fresher longer than ever before. You can shit in a bowl and then whisk it away, and you can visit caged wild animals in the middle of a city. You can buy things to make you see and hear better, and you can live anywhere you want. You can get your face stretched tight like when it was new, and you can be sick and not die for a really really long time. You can even wash your clothes in a machine so why can't you figure out a way to be happy all of the time? You can give us money, if you want, too.

This reminds me of a story my dad told me about when he was young visting his cousins who lived in skohegan maine.
Apparently they never had a toilet inside, this is the 60s, and when they got one they didn't have a bathroom to put it in so they just installed it right in the middle of the master bedroom. And apparently as my dad is taking a shit in the bed/bathroom, all of his little cousins are peeking through the door crack/keyhole to watch the magic of indoor plumbing. That was only 40 years ago...fuck. Thank god for that magic bowl,
