"We live in an amazing, amazing world, and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots."

Thanks for the clip, Meg.

I love this clip, especially the part about flying. I love flying because I think is incredible we can actually do it. I'm like a three year old every time I get on a plane.

Last week, my laptop went down. I joked what is this yellow thing with thin pages and lines. What is instrument that puts blue down on the yellow pages.
I had to write and plan on yellow pad...it was not all bad.

Extremely witty and yet makes a great point. Perhaps it's time to focus on the discipline of simplicity.

love it, Kem. I'm old enough to appreciate the technology but young enough to have also been spoiled by it. sometimes i wish we didn't have it - "simplify, simplify, simplify."

I saw this a few months ago. Everytime my iphone doesn't work instantly - Ross reminds me that it has to go to space. Funny stuff.

Great video Kem!

Kem,

Everyday I talk to people who give more credence to everything this guy says. The first time I was on an airplane, someone literally had to ask me to be quiet, since I was so busy relating my fascination to my wife.
I totally love this clip!

I coulda just called the guy on the same cell phone.

point taken. THANKS KEM!

I don't want to sound like a non-contributing zero, but who is the guy being interviewed? I don't recognize him...

"Give it a second, it's going to space!" Haha! It is fascinating how we get so familiar with technology and what we take for granted. I pray that as we pursue the God of Creation we take time to pause and give thanks. Great video, hilarious...even though I belong to the generation of "spoiled idiots."

Saw this a few months ago. Thought it was hilarious. @terrystorch popped it on Twitter.
