Twenty years ago, there was a joke circulating.
A baby boomer observed two teenagers in a record store looking at some
"Beatles" record albums. One turned to the other and said, "I didn't know
Paul McCartney was in a band before "Wings"!
When you tell that joke to a teenager now, they say, "What are record
albums?"
How come, with all the endless "improvements" in the world, people seem
generally less happy, more stressed, and have to work harder to "keep up"
than ever before?
