So expensive that only the richest people could afford to have a library. then came newspapers, another 'bad influence to the youth' compared to the good old book printing. radio, movies, television, computer games, internet. not a single one of these new media got out without old men failing to see the potential in them, or without the current 'youth of today' getting heat for the new lows every generation seemed to reach.
I'm getting really concerned with the youtube fascination. Do you, and everybody else who continue to point to this toilet of narcism, sit around and search for amusement on it all day?
Does anybody read anymore...you know, like a book?
and yet every indicator of the standard of living rises every generation, science progresses, and life in general gets better. it's just that (us) old men never change.
