     He got a lot of things right.  The message is right, its the medium that   
   changed.

     Yep.

     Concur.   
     A lot of people believe things that simply aren't true.

      Same here.   
      I sometimes have to read something a couple of times.   
      Your spell is like my handwriting.   
      If reading something I had written some time before I have to think what   
   was I writing about and sort of fill in the gaps.  These are generally   
   something I just jotted down.  Often times I give up and trying to decipher   
   it.

     Going back to ads popping up I find it a bit scary when I want to find a   
   business in this area and just type in, oh say, "pizza" and get a list of   
   pizza places around me.   
      Not "pizza places in Huntington, WV" but just "pizza".   
      
   >  that's handy enough & a bit more than half the reason I carry my phone with   
   me everywhere.   
      
     When I worked in wholesale produce I called about 80 businesses a day to   
   get their orders.  After a while I knew their number by heart and didn't   
   need to look it up.  Those are long since drifted out of my memory.   
      Currently in parking I have about 50 license plates of regulars   
   memorised, along with permit numbers, etc.   
      I like to show off at work at times and have someone give me a   
   description of a vehicle:   
      Red Ford four door on such and such a lot.   
      That plate number is thus and so.   
      They check the list and I'm right.  :)   
      Now balancing my cheque book is another story with numbers...
