It's a great time to be alive.

I'm old enough to remember when nobody imagined an internet.

I used to go to stores to buy stuff. Now I just tell Amazon to ship it to me.

I used to think I would always have to drive my car to chess clubs to play chess. These days I play chess with anyone in the world from my living room and then ask for free computer analysis of my games.

I used to mail a check to pay my bills. Now I can pay everyone with a mouse click.

Another nice thing is being able to look things up and find what I'm looking for in one second. Thanks Google.

There are countless other reasons why the 21st century is a wonderful place. It's a great time to be alive.
