Viral Video: Everything Is Amazing and Nobody Is Happy

Here’s a video of comic Louis CK, in an appearance with television talk show host Conan O’Brien, which was flagged to me by Tech N’ Marketing blogger Hillel Fuld as the all-time funniest.

And it indeed is, due to Louis CK’s perfect riff on technology, in which he correctly notes “everything is amazing right now and nobody is happy.”

My fave part is his observation of how impatient people are with their cell phone connections: “It’s going to space, can you give it a second to get back from space?”

Well said, especially with all the various controversies around Apple (AAPL), Facebook and more.

    Made me remember back in the old days when we couldn't afford to call friends and relatives in a different state.
    We are encouraging a lot of ungrateful folks.

    I think Harry McCracken did a survey not long ago asking people what they would and wouldn't give up. I think the one thing I couldn't give up was TiVo.

Knowledge for my generation was at the center of the human quest. It is going the way of the recording industry. It is a term that won’t survive the generation.
