"But Everything Is Online"

Time was tight as I raced up (30mph) Sharp Park Road for an appointment with Ira at Bedroom Express (that I now know is in San Bruno.) SIRI find directions to Bedroom Express in Daly City........ “here’s Panda xpress” SIRI! GET DIRECTIONS TO BEDROOM EXPRESS, EL CAMINO SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO......Siri says ”please tell me what you want” I curse her and switch to Google Maps which finds it and gives directions and boom I’m there. Wait this isn’t right, I know they moved over a year ago. S#%*, Google maps brought me to their old closed location in that shopping center that’s been ready for demolition. Now I remember their new location is over by San Bruno Ave. On the way I was cursing technology further thinking that there is so much garbage online now it takes forever to find what you need and many times the data is old.I must hear someone say “But everything is online” at least twice a week. They’re right. The internet is flooded with garbage now and it’s only going to get worse. Have you tried searching for a restaurant lately to get driving directions or see a menu? Every third party site (Yelp, Living Social, Groupon, Eat24, Menus.com, Grubhub and more) come up trying to get you to order through them so they get 12%? And the businesses real site is nowhere to be found. People say to me Bob you’re just old and grumpy. Really? My Dermitologfist, a thirty something Millinial told me he prefers to shop through local papers. He said “it’s faster if I pickup a local paper then spending an hour online and not finding what I really need., then if I do it takes a week to get it” “You know if they paid to put it in the paper its current.” Exactly Doctor. Ok, so I arrive at my appointment a few minutes late. Started showing Ira the paper and he says “A paper? But everything is online now. ”
