MIKE MCDONALD SAID: "Every time they come up with something to make our life more convenient, all it does is complicates it. A perfect example is: tv remote-controls. Now everybody thinks: "Oh, they're so convenient." You don't have to get up. You don't have to do anything. Just sit there bangin away on that thing. But because of the remote-control, I now have not watched a complete episode of anything. Sit there bangin away on that thing. Because of the remote control, I now have the attention span of a gerbil."
