I can't understand why people still use their legs to go from one place to another. That's so primitive. What do they think the good Lord gave us gas-burning internal combustion engines for?

And this "staircase" thing. How inefficient. There's a reason they invented hydraulics, you know.

And "talking". Why should I risk long-term wear and tear to my vocal cords now that we have cheap and easy text-based communication? Ever since I got an Internet connection my phone has been used as a large paperweight on my desk.
