    On the bright side, we have apartments full of advanced electronics and consumer products. Back then they had houses with thin walls, a library, and a record player. In order to have a bearable existence, I don’t need as much space as they did.

    From their perspective, I’m living in some sort of sci-fi fantasy reality. A millionaire would have traded his mansion to have what I take for granted. They’d empty their bank accounts for an Xbox and an iPhone.
