First we must define our terms.

why  is  everything awesome ?


A few  quick reasons
There are millions, this is half of what the Blog is about, I would like to hear your reasons.
1. Technology     

A- Makes our life easier :  for thousands of years people traveled  on horses and ships. I am amazed at the MTA in New York and how easily I can travel from qns to Manhattan. Under water! for $2.50. without getting wet.

B- Increases knowledge:  Galileo was one of the first to effectively use the telescope to observe the universe, technology has played a key role in our “standing on the shoulders of giants” as Hawking put it in his book on Galileo.  Later the power  of computers and then super computers were used , creating a  telescoping of  knowledge. The Apple Iphone is more powerful then the rocket that took the first men to the moon Galileo observed. The  speed of information has grown faster in the past 200 years then in the last 2,000. I am amazed by  the fax machine, people travelled for months and years to deliver a message across contents , now all I have to do is press a bunch of buttons.


Related to technology is

2.  A   Longer life span  - for most of human history the average life span has been no greater then 35 to 40 years, by the end of this century the average life expectancy should be double that.
This is amazing!   we can  combine this with the speed of information and we have the chance to  learn more about the universe, ourselves and each other then any other generation. This is what I think awesome is .

Name of Blog

This Blog is based on a You tube video from Louis CK, My friend adam enbar told me about , check it out

It is about the unappreciated.  It is about the amazing

It is about happiness .

I was at a Met game once and some one was taking a picture with a big lens, I asked him how it works, he started laughing , he said you just push the button. I said no how does it take a picture, he said oh I dont know.

I stick to nonfiction.

The only difference between reality and fiction, 
is that fiction needs to be credible."
