Dear Humans,

It takes a few seconds for my phone to connect to my car and it is very frustrating. Because I can’t even back out of my driveway until the music or podcast has begun.

But then I think about the first car I drove and what it took to listen to my Pearl Jam CDs. Flipping through a giant binder, popping one into a knockoff Discman, plugging a tape adapter from the headphone jack to the tape deck, flipping to the correct AUX source, and finally skipping to my preferred track.

Technology improves, but our expectations of it grow even faster, so it seems like nothing gets better at all. But it does.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
