[QUOTE="Kona, post: 1204828, member: 318"] My man here gets it. Let's look at the ancient art of fishing. I was taught the semi-old fashioned way by old folks, who were taught an even older-fashioned way by even older folks. Everybody is catching fish, nowadays I just catch more. Why? Because I had great teachers first and foremost. However, the good people at Raytheon have made it so much easier to take the skills to another level. I could go out right this second, in the pitch goddamn dark, and catch a massive ahi. I just radar the fucker down in locations GPS has marked for me. Then I dangle a lure designed by fish scientists at lure headquarters probably wearing white doctor jackets. People that want to get manipilulated and dominated by technology do it to themselves. Why on earth did I need iPhone 4 or 5 or 6 or 7, or how about the 8? Because I'm a suckered that's why. If you get caught up in it, and it becomes a see-and-be-seen thing, you screw yourself. You focus too much on the novelty and not actually putting the technology to work for you. Aloha! [/QUOTE]
