What about all the people that can ONLY get AOL in their rural areas (the Comcast "go fuck yourself" zones)? It seems strange to think less of them for living in the wrong place.

Well, people in the middle of their farms, milking their cow with a pitchfork sticking out their back pocket, aren't usually considered tech-savvy themselves, even if they DON'T use AOL. :)

The "desktop" isn't going anywhere in my home. My tablet is fine for pure consumption, email, Facebook, Netflix, etc. But it is totally inadequate even for something as simple as ranting on my favorite web forum. I could switch to a Chrombook far more easily than I could to iOS or Android, but Google Docs isn't as good as MS Office, and where would I put my top secret plans for world domination?

Don't get me started about 4-way stops! In my neighborhood, the city, in its infinite non-wisdom, replaced several intersection's traffic lights with 4-way stops to save money. IMHO, it's a mess! Half the time, it's not clear who was first/next to the intersection, and more than half don't seem to realize you should yield to the vehicle on the right.
