[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1086065, member: 4362"] Reading these posts makes me realize just how easy this generation has it. Just think, young men today don't have to suffer the anxiety and shear terror of calling a girl on the phone and praying her father doesn't answer the phone. My dad was a wise man and very practical minded and he didn't embrace the new age inventions. During my senior year in high school a man asked if I'd come to work for him during the start up of a new type of television Cable TV. He explained it to me and how it would be a big money maker for him and he offered me a salary of $250/week plus $0.25/month/subscriber I booked and they would be mine as long as I worked for him. Forgetting the commission, the $250/week was double what I was making working six days a week so I thought it wonderful. Ran it past my dad and he said, "GD son. That's ridiculous. Use your head. Who in their right mind would pay to watch television". Anyone familiar with television networks would recognize the man's name today because he now has news channels, weather, television channels and a host of other cable related enterprises. My dad was right about a lot of things but on this one he missed the mark and missed it bad. [/QUOTE]
