We’re here in the VIP room for lesson number 21 again. Today's lesson Add,
we’re talking really about keeping up, staying afloat, looking into the future
instead of looking into the past and paying attention to what's new and cool and
whatever. Whatever's coming up and is new really in the world instead of
forgetting about it, just sitting on your couch and doing nothing. Yeah, you
definitely want to keep up with the times and not fall behind and become like a
really old person like your grandparents or something, not that there's anything
wrong with them, but often, you know, they don't keep up with the times do they?
One set of our grandparents does, the other set doesn't. We don't really need to
get into that in case they’re listening, but even I do that sometimes Add. You do
that…it’s easy to, you get kind of set in a certain way and you forget to improve
and pay attention to new things in the world. Anyway, that’s the topic basically; if
that makes any sense at all, which it will. Have a phenomenal dialogue about to
come, I say we just jump right into it.
A: What are you still doing looking at a roadmap?
Get out of the dark ages and get a GPS system. It’ll save you a ton of time
and energy.
B: Road maps work just fine. I don’t need to hop on the bandwagon every
time a new device comes onto the market.
A: GPS is the real deal. In 5 years, not having one will be as ridiculous as not having an email address today.
B: I don’t even have a clue how a GPS. It’ll probably end up taking me more
time to learn how to use one than just using a road map.
A: That sounds about as logical as listening to my grandparents talk about
computers. Don’t you want to keep up with the times anyway?
B: Not really. I’m perfectly happy living in my simple little bubble.
A: Ignorance is bliss I guess.
All right, great lesson Add, a lot of deep meanings in here and sort of talking
about what not to do. I don't have a GPS system. We’re going to talk about that
and…well we don't even have a car but this dialogue was inspired when we were
in Canada and our parents are still using roadmaps. Maybe some of our
listeners are using roadmaps and may want to consider switching to a GPS
system, because we saw how cool they were. Get to that momentarily Add, a lot
of good phrases though. First one, get out of the dark ages. And I'm not really a
history major…well I’m not a history major at all so I had to go online and look up
when the dark ages was, I kind of forgot, but anyway the point is, it's a period in
history that happened several hundred years ago and it’s this period of time, I
think after the fall of the Roman Empire, where people learned and contributed
basically nothing…and in English when someone just says, get out of the dark
ages, it means you don't want to really be living in the past and…and living in the
dark, you want to pay attention to what's going on now, it’s like not having an e-
mail address is living in the dark ages. Right, exactly, not keeping up with the
times, get out of the dark ages. I'm sure none of you are really in that time period
because you're listening to this lesson right now. Yeah, so obviously if you guys
are listening to this…this is a podcast. You obviously have an e-mail address so
we can kind of make fun of the people and ourselves who sometimes can be in
