nelson, ha! I saw that skit when it first came out and got a kick out of it.

I actually tend to be an early adopter of new technology and love tech that actually IMPROVES things. Just can't stand tech that re-designs, makes you figure out where everything has moved, or re-names things. . . . and then you have to waste time just to get back to where you were BEFORE the alleged improvements. Waste of time and no gain -- that's what annoys me.

I was an early adopter of the internet, skype, youtube, gmail, many phone apps, etc. Always looking for and adopting technology that really makes a big difference. But I've also noticed that as these things mature, they tend to make changes for no reason, often makes them LESS useful, and seems like is often just a designer trying to justify their position at the company. I thought youtube's best version was like 8 versions ago.

But on the new tech side of things, I was an early adopter of bitcoin about 11 years ago, which I know many, if not most, on this board think is nonsense, or gambling, or evil. Munger called it rat poison. I strongly disagree.

I think SNL could do a new sketch with the old guy yelling about "the bitcons or the cryptomography or whatever it is you kids are calling it! Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me!"
