The Miseries of Technology

We just got digital cable installed here at the HamsterPalace. The cable company was running a really good deal, and DG will finally be able to watch the Tour de France again, which these days is broadcast only on a channel which is available only on the digital service. Besides, your modern global despot needs to keep up with the latest technologies in order to maintain his enlightened rule. What a mistake! In the first couple of days I tuned into the National Geographic Channel. There I learned that plate tectonics will gradually push all the continents back together again. I fell into a deep depression. I mean, suddenly everything seemed so pointless. What's the use if it's just all going to get mushed back up again? Or am I overreacting? In either case, y'all be very, very careful about watching the National Geographic Channel. There are potential psychological issues...
