The world had far fewer stimuli, far slower pace of life, and smaller-scale living in that people usually interacted with far fewer people than they do now, traveled a lot less, had fewer lovers/marriages/divorces, didn't have to deal with income taxes or Windows. Speakin of... I'm trying to use a cute little Samsung netbook thing to run an automation project. I used the Windows settings to disable suspend and shutdown, and it ignored me. Turns out that Samsung installed their own "battery manager" that does all the same functions, and I think they are at war or something. And if it does suspend, when it wakes up it demands an admin password, and there is no admin password, so all you can do is shut down and restart. None of that being good for remote automation apps.
