Computers have been a mixed bag

Entertainment is better.
Education is far better. (you can learn about anything you want right now for free)
Racism was on a slow decline. (communication, education)

The economy is far worse The job situation is worse.
I'd say cars are better, being more efficient, but the SUV loophole fucked that.

Yeah I can't even say that. There is more entertainment and its a lot more accessible. Better special effects are great but that is so low on quality of life things I don't care to lose it. Education is kinda the same. Not really better but more access to information but less information is high quality as a percentage of what you have access to. Honestly cars themselves are another problematic technology to begin with.

yeah I watch whats free. I don't have any particular qualms at this point about pirating but I literally don't see anything as worth the bother. im all enthused because I found some broadcast stations are playing star treks and mash and barney miller and such. they had a twilight zone marathon over the weekend.
