Hell, even great kings of the past would dream of having the power we have in the palm of our hands.

They make sure of this so you have to take it in and get them repaired from the Apple store which is robbery in my eyes. I fix my own computers, but this is why I never want to buy Apple products that I may have to fix or upgrade. They are overrated, and overpriced. I think its time for people to stop biting the Apple. Good thread
you can get certified by apple and fix them in your store.

No, Kings had more power. If they were around today, they wouldn't feel the need to instagram their latest meal from a restaurant. An iPhone would be nearly worthless to them, besides giving decrees to off the next man's head.

you're kidding, right? social interaction has increased a million fold? Maybe with electronics.
Put your average teenager in a room with 9 of their peers, take away all their electronics, and I bet they wouldn't be able to interact with each other for 5 minutes.
The veil of "the most social generation in history" is a thin one at best. It's hilarious to me that the generation with the best communication with each other in the history of this planet and the most access to information of any generation before it couldn't interact with each other if they tried, and are the first generation in history that are going to be stupider and poorer than their parents,.

What would take a King hundreds of envoy's, death defying journeys,and months (sometimes years) of time to accomplish, I can do in less than a minute. I think he would agree with me, that is a hell of a lot of power to have in one's hands.

You seem to look at people as generally dumb, unsociable brainwashed zombies. Most people, in my opinion, are generally responsible and pretty appreciative of being able to take advantage of these technologies. Whatever the use we individually deem fit, these devices make it easier to do.
