The 80s were great. Unfortunately we spent too much time looking to the future, we enjoyed the time but we had no idea how great it was. We thought the future was going to be awesome and tried to prepare for it. We started recycling, made changes so the ozone layer could heal, every school buried time capsules and we fantasized about what the world would be like after Y2K. We thought the Berlin Wall coming down was a sign of people coming together and bringing an end to the things that divide us, wow were we wrong about that. It’s no wonder most of us seem a little grumpy.

We still have that radio alarm clock and it works just fine. Not one thing wrong with it. Surprisingly, the technology i always have the most trouble with is the most recently made, and the technology i have the least trouble with has rust stains older than I am. Maybe they are trying to make things do too much and are sacrificing the life span of it instead? Either that, or they are being designed to fail faster so you spend more money.
