Basically the title. The fact that we can read an encyclopedia entry on the economic history of the Netherlands from our phone is crazy. Scrolling over to a random island in the middle of the Atlantic to experience a virtual street tour is insane. There are even websites that let you see live security camera footage (shoutout to EarthCamTV). We have so much information that we take for granted.
My parents used to tell me something similar before we even had smartphones. I don’t know what boredom is.
I was stuck in my house a lot as a kid. I would casually read the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was bored.
Wikipedia is amazing.
