Something I heard one of the undergrads say today piqued my interest: "DUDE! I forgot to send you that song!" Now, normally I would ignore their juvenile repartee, but this actually got me thinking: Ten years ago, you'd never hear someone say that, and if you did, chances are eavesdroppers would be thoroughly confused. These were the days before broadband, before iPods, when the entire file-sharing movement was just a glimmer in Shawn Fanning's eye. Now look where we are. Sending files over the web is so easy an undergrad can do it. As long as he remembers.
Only mildly insightful, I know. But after sitting at the computer staring at tumor-filled lungs all day, my mind becomes desperate for distraction.
