Are you so alienated from nature that you can’t tell when a piece of fruit is ripe? Don’t worry, there‘sa new line of packaging that changes color when the fruit has reached palatability.
Are you too tired to measure out coffee and then too impatient to wait eight minutes while your automatic drip machine brews a fresh pot? Don’t worry, there‘sa new coffee container that allows you to heat a cup of premade joe at the touch of a button.
We?re supposed to be so impressed by the ingenuity of these gadgets that we?ll ignore our utter lack of need for such technology. But shouldn’t new inventions help mankind achieve great things, not enable our worst neuroses? —Gersh Kuntzman —Stop Them Before They Invent Again! (MSNBC)

We are too Mc Donaldized already. Enough with the fastfood, fast coffee, and instant gratification. Make em wait for the coffee. Make people measure it out. These people that cannot find ripe fruit are not the fittest in the eyes of Darwin, so lets keep with the theory on survival and watch them become extinct. It's about adapting and finding fruit that won't make you sick if you take a big ole bite should be a requirement to continue reproducing. These people really pound my last nerve.
