I liked that bit as well. The age of technology, eh?

Yes, a Simon Cowell induced quadruplet or even quintuplet delivery of drivel, marketed wisely to make him a fortune from young walking hormones with more money than sense.
It's amazing what people won't know about what came before them. A woman i knew asked me once if i would come by her office. She had a student worker, and they had gotten a portable typewrite donated (charity industry company), and she wanted to know if could judge the age. So i immediately opened the case, and looked at the underside of the lid, where companies commonly put their name and address on a typewriter. I pointed out that the address had a zone number, but no zip code (a mail directing device), so it was therefore originally sold before 1963. I happened to look up then, and the student worker had a shocked look on her face. She said: "I never thought about a time before there were xip coes."
