It goes without saying that technology is a magnificent thing. Yay, progress :) Every now and then, I find myself faced with a "backwards" experience that reminds me to appreciate the technology we have today. Sadly, these aren't very life-altering or profound backwards experiences -- I mean, it's not like I occasionally shit in an outhouse in the middle of the night or have to pluck my own chickens before dinner. No, it's just little things and I say, geez my life really has been made easier/better/more full because of this small advancement.
Most recently I experienced this in a rental car.
