Every once in a while, I come across something that really speaks to me. This one of those things.

It's ironic that I'm posting this video to an Internet forum, but this gentleman makes some excellent points about technology, vanity... and humanity.

I'd like to meet him someday... Face To Face.

Thanks for that Ken 

Seems odd to hear a member of the "younger" generation speak that way about the subject.

Very few kids/young adults can even remember the days BEFORE all the iwhatever's and such. Heck I remeber a time when I swore I would have no need for a cell phone - now I carry two("smartphones" at that) at all times   One for work and one for personal use
 I sometimes joke that kids today are allergic to the outside because it seems they spend so much time watching "reality" on TV(a whole other rant in waiting) or playing in games in "virtual reality" that they completely neglect the true real world that awaits beyond the front door. And as long as I'm rambling does anyone else notice the lack of actual social skills that I think can be directly attributed to social media

 And yet I sit here at a keyboard commiserating with you folks  - not that there's anything wrong with you folks. I guess technology is great as long as you can exercise control over it and not the other way around..

It does appear the latest generations feel somewhat entitled these days, but I’m certain the same was said about us when we were younger. Social skills are definitely suffering from the media age and the video’s points were valid and well stated. Without question things have changed since I was under my parents’ tutelage. Thanks for posting Ken.
