i'm sure you're right. for some reason, when I picture retired life, it includes being free of these electronic leashes that bind us all. of course by then, it will be a very different world in which the pretentious oldtimers will lecture the kids about the good old days of classics like Rent and Wicked. which makes me try to imagine the shows the kids will be obsessing over at that time. which makes me want to remove my eyeballs, ear drums, liver, and heart. but we're getting into a different conversation, this thread is a happy one for billygoat.
