In my hippie days, my idea of happiness was to live in an isolated log cabin with minimum utilities, a shortwave radio, and an astronomical telescope. That way I could keep in contact with the world and the universe. Thanks to Sir Tim Berners-Lee, we now have the world wide web, can talk with anyone anywhere, and can marvel at stunning images of asteroids, planets, stars, and galaxies.
Off on a topic tangent: I loved Pink Floyd in their Syd Barrett days but could never stand the vapid lyrics of Astonomy Domine. "Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten" — seriously? Almost as bad of some of Tyrannosaurus Rex's tweetie-twee lyrics in their initial Marc-Steve acoustic incarnation.
