Agreed.  I was reflecting the other day on how the general public is 
actually acquiring a level of technological maturity.... No really :)

I was riding a train the other day and the guard made an announcement and 
then said "for more information go to gotransit.com".  That was it. 
Simple and the vast majority of the people on the train probably 
understood exactly what he meant.

I reflected how 10 years ago he would have said "go to h t t p : / / w w w 
. gotransit . com".
