Everything is Amazing, Nobody is Happy
I am constantly amazed by how easy it is to learn and do research on anything. We are extremely lucky to live in these times. I cannot imagine what it was to be an international analyst some 20+ years ago Internet-less and based outside a university. How did you find out about the economic growth of Latvia? (Did you have to call the IMF's costumer service?) What if you needed to check some old article that appeared in a Honduran newspaper? (Did you have to travel to Washington D.C. and visit the Library of Congress?) The best illustration of what I mean is this video by humorist Louis CK in which he brilliantly describes the broader changes in our everyday life. Watch it and pinch your arm.

Es verdad!
ReplyDeleteSin ser tan viejo me acuerdo del teléfono de tu casa en Estanzula que había que darle manija como un desaforado (yo no tenía teléfono).
Las esperas de 5 horas que había para hablar con Paysandú! Llamabamos a la operadora que decía "tiene 7 horas de demora para hablar con paysandú"
Ahora te llamo de mi celu al tuyo yo en el medio de la nada y vos en DC y te escucho como si estuvieras al lado.
EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!
BUT...
Muy bueno el video!
