Convenience

How it is: fruit on the bottom! (mix it yourself). Self-service gas! (pump
it yourself). Speedy checkout lanes! (scan and bag your items yourself).

That's not really convenience. Sometimes more personal involvement doesn't
mean better- it just means more work.

What's next? Build your own television kits! Do it yourself doctor's
appointments! Subway: now featuring a make your own sandwich station!

I see what they are trying to do.

Here is what I want: Chicken sandwiches at the touch of a remote! Adjustable
weather! Not just predictive texting, but predictive phone calls!

Now that's some convenience for your ass.

  2. Did you write this, or did your computer?

    Also what else is next is mandatory self-education, no more university for you!
