I guess my point was missed, FWIW I'm not a luddite who doesn't see any value in handheld technology. I've been through about 6 iPods now and have come to rely on them, for music and for advancing my Spanish and Portuguese through podcasts.

My problem is with the techno-dweebs I know who get excited over any technology advancement. As long as it's newer, faster, shinier, smaller, with better audio/video/storage/bandwidth, etc, than last quarter's model I'm supposed to be impressed when they wave it around and rattle off its specs. Then they use it to look up Brady Bunch trivia or some such garbage.

The smug sense of "I have more computing power in my hand than the Apollo astronauts had" yet they can't construct a fucking correct sentence on their own if their lives depended on it. But I digress. >> ^Quboid:

I wouldn't have thought there'd be so many Luddites on the sift.
@ulysses1904, yes, your non-existent example of exaggerated uselessness is indeed useless. Something useful? How about checking prices and product reviews while in the shop? I can browse my local video store and if I see an interesting movie, I pull out my phone, load the IMDB app, take a picture of the BluRay case and learn all about it.
When I was in Italy a few months ago, I had language trouble when ordering food on one occasion - I pulled out my phone, typed my order into Google Translate and handed the phone to the waitress. That day, the human race was closer to having a Babel Fish than we have been in thousands of years of human development - but hey, it's just a gizmo, right? Who cares?
In fact, come to think of it, even your example isn't useless - that birther nonsense wouldn't have lasted long if everyone with a smartphone could have done that while watching Obama's inauguration.
@CheshireSmile, if that's all you need then fine, although I'm guessing your friends have rubbish keyboards on their phones. I don't need much, but I want loads and why not? If I'm waiting for a plane or something, I like to be able to web browse, check Facebook and Twitter, play games, whatever.
My Samsung Galaxy S 2 probably would not survive falling out the window of a moving car, however this has yet to cause me any distress - just out of interest, how often does your phone fall out of a moving car?

Happy laughter time. And I remember when I used to think that he was the least talented member of In Living Color. Stupid me!

reminds me of the Brady Bunch

That was the weirdest episode of the Brady Bunch I'd ever seen.

Space Invaders and Brady Bunch parts were hilarious!

^Word. Right now I imagine he's too busy jerking off to the Brady Bunch.

WHOA
@4:32 - that is WAY too many talking heads there. Not even the Brady Bunch could get along talking like that, they had to be introduced one at a time, and TO A SONG.

WAY too many.

Glad to hear. This definitely made me giggle.

This was the highlight of my morning!

my guess is (sorry to ruin the sarchasim joke roll) the mountain they are on is connected at the top to neartop of a nearby mountain, and therefore a 2nd line can run to the middle of the first mountain as a return trip. While the distance apart is probably great, its no where near the mountain valley trip. IMO the breaking system is way primitive, also why are several of the kids going with no parents? Parent of the year award for sure here. I can see the eldest going for supplies, but they don't need to take the whole brady bunch along.

Anyways as mentioned before, it would be nice if someone could splurge and atleast purchase or donate proper harnesses to these people.

Thanks!

EXCITING FACTS: From the Youtube comments, apparently this was around at an exposition in 1967. Otherwise, the technique wouldn't have predated the intro to the Brady Bunch which was in 1969.
