Technology is beautiful

I was listening to a podcast of my favorite show, PTI, and they were talking about how Gary Matthews Jr. robbed a homerun from Mike Lamb. They were showing the amazing footage that of course I couldn't see. I was just thinking... damn, I really want to see that play. Lo and behold, 5 seconds later I was watching the video via You Tube. See for yourself:



Pretty unbelievable. Ten years ago, there is no way I would be able to do this. In 1996, I was reading USA Today and trying to catch Sportscenter for my only source of sporting news. Internet access had just begun at my school, and streaming video was... ha ha... light years away.

Technology has taken over our lives.
