Here’s a mind-blowing concept for you:

We’ve been kicking around this planet for, what? Say 7,000 years or so? And yet, as late as 1900 A.D., we were still getting around in horse-drawn carriages. We had no telephones, no homogenization, no immunization. And then suddenly, miraculously, we turned a technological corner and less than 70 years later, we put a man on the moon.

From horses to spaceships in just 70 years, after 7000 years of steam and smashing rocks together.

Folks, look around you. Look where we are. You’re on a site that couldn’t have existed just five years ago. You’re learning in a way that was literally unthinkable 20 years ago. We live in an age where we are leap-frogging our own technology in months, instead of years.

This all got driven home for me last night as I recorded this week’s podcast. It’s a live show, recorded with a friend from overseas, using nothing more than the tools I had on hand.

And if think about the technological might of NASA circa 1969, you have to look at the box in front of you right now and realize that you could run the space program of that era.

The new podcast goes live tonight. I can’t wait until the weekend to share it with you. It’s just too cool.

Stay tuned.
