Make it so.

I am posting this from an airplane. 

I am soaring 37,000 feet above the surface of the earth at hundreds of miles per hour, able to wirelessly connect to a world wide network that allows instantious communication with people in different countries and different cultures from the other side of the globe.  I am listening to independantly produced audio fiction from authors in and genres I'd never would have been interested in if not for said network on a device that can store more music than 9000 CDs.  The flash storage device in my pocket can store thousands of the greatest written works of mankind.  My cell phone, another pocket device, has more than double (at least) the processing power of the transport that took people to the moon and back.

I live in the future.

I vow never to take any of this for granted, ever.
