Look at the opposite way. I don't want to live anywhere without 3G or broadband. Few people do. It's like having a city without electricity or running water these days. It might even be more important since this is the way people share ideas and news.

You can argue that they should move, but that's easier said than done, and how are they to know what they're missing if they've lived without it? Yes, you can also argue that isolated communities should remain isolated communities, but then their ideas do not align with the rest of the nation at the very fundamental level, causing all sorts of unnecessary strife. I would prefer a nation that is more connected and in tune with itself.

I typed "where" and the suggestion was "where is my house in whiterun".

You can't explain that.

Yes. It's kind of amazing when Google knows that I'm playing Skyrim and I only have to type one word (not a proper noun) to get the suggestion of what I needed. That blew my mind.

Not to mention, the self-documenting nature of Objective-C is fantastic. If you name your methods like Apple does, you'll never need to write comments. ;)

C# is very appealing at first because of its syntactic sugar. Obj-C is appealing because of the way it works underneath. Don't be a shallow programmer - save your aesthetic judgements for cars and women.

I have seriously considered using Objective-C for non-iProjects, because it is so pleasant to use. I used to be a huge C# fan, using it in Linux and Windows for everything. I can guarantee that non-Apple APIs and tools will arise because of its usage.

You look at their Exchange/Google/whatever shared calendars and schedule the meetings accordingly, because the software will have daytime/in-office hours highlighted for you.

Yes. It's called immersion. Sure, games can be immersive without these things, but they sure do help, and once you've experienced them in newer games it's difficult to go backwards. And it's not just the graphics and sound, but also things like control schemes and "polish". Try playing GTA4 and GTA3 back to back. GTA3 was more fun, but I'm not sure I could tolerate it after seeing the production and experiencing the evolution that was GTA4.

Then again, there's very few games I'd play more than once, anyway.

It's not silly. We're just more sensitive to aesthetics.

Our ancestors had about the same memory - they would open the door, get on the floor, and everybody walked the dinosaur.
