Wise words from a video comment

A featured video on Yahoo! today featured a young lady making the annoyed observation that her iPhone bill was a book... a 300 page long book that came in a cardboard package, actually. One of the comments was particuarly insightful:

Everyday my vague sense of the underlying cyclonic swirl of extinction hovering around the human species becomes more palpable. Steve jobs is shilling a relatively useless product with a smug marketing campaign, the premise being that a phone will make your life better and people lined up in droves for it. Now you're complaining that your life isn’t better and surprised that you're just knee-deep in corporate-sponsored bullsh**ification of your life... Carbon neutrality will make your life better. Clean air will make your life better. Growing your own food will make your life better. The collapse of the military prison-industrial complex will make your life better. I'll line up for that.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
