I mostly agree. Although I have learned a lot from Youtube. Much more than the books could ever teach. It was like having a mentor to walk me through many things. I also could get things I could not locally. But right now I am struggling to get Christmas gifts online. I can't drive right now, due to the vertigo. And I am struggling with finding quality stuff at a decent price. The overload of crap on Amazon drowns out the ability to find decent stuff. And other vendors sell the same or not at all due to not being able to compete.
So the internet has been a double edged sword. Mostly I miss the stores. Hard to believe I am saying that. But it meant people had jobs. The small hardware store is gone, the speed shops that I used to visit when I was a kid building a car have become these boutique speed shops???X!

A politician gets convicted of white-collar crimes and he's sent to prison.
His first day of prison, he asks the first inmate he sees, "I hear this is the best prison ever, do they treat us pretty well here?"
Inmate, "oh yes, I'm very lucky I got to be in this prison! Do you like bowling?"
"Bowling is good"
Inmate, "Well, you're going to like Mondays because on Monday they load us up on a bus and take us to a bowling alley and we get to bowl all day! And do you like tennis?"
"Yeah, tennis is fun"
Inmate, "Well, you're going to like Tuesdays because on Tuesday they load us up on a bus and they take us to some great tennis courts and we get to play tennis all day! And do you like golf?"
"I love to play golf"
Inmate "Well, you're going to love Wednesdays because on Wednesdays they put us on a bus and they take us to a wonderful golf course, divide us into foursomes and we get to play golf all day! And do you like sex?"
"I love sex"
Inmate "Are you heterosexual or homosexual?"
"I'm heterosexual”
Inmate "Well, you're not gonna like Thursdays very much!"

I’m 57 and grew up some with no phone and no power. Wood heat, cooking and kerosene lanterns. When I used a friends phone is was a party line.

Spoken like a true manager. Doesn't care until the moment that it affects him...
