Not sad at all actually. When I was a kid growing up, all the gadgets we are using today was science fiction back then.
For example, when you wanted to contact somebody out of state in 1975, you had basically two options. Write a letter, stamp an envelope and hope they get it in three days. Or make a very expensive long distance telephone call. Today, my grown children live out of state and it's like having them in the next room with all these texts, chat sessions and video calls on Skype, etc.
Maybe the younger folks who grew up with all this stuff think it's no big deal but for anybody over 50, this is truly transforming technology.
It’s the flowery “transformative” sales pitch I was poking at. They are making the watch to be the next Jesus Christ. It’s a watch. It’s a phone. Like it or don’t. But it’s not going to transform lives. If people think so that’s pretty shallow.
By the way, and not directed at you, I noticed for expressing my opinion without insulting anyone, I am referred to as the cranky old fart with no life. Some folks need to stop being so sensitive. There is a whole lot more to life than what someone posts about me or anyone on any forum.
