I realised that most of the regulars on CE, I probably don't know what they do for a job, or career, if anything. I'm just curious. I know a lot of people will probably be programmers, and IT help desk people, and software engineers (CE probably hasn't changed much from a few years ago), but we'll probably get a few different careers that people do, I guess.

Sunhawk

Goggolator, you've made me pretty angry.

Books can take years and years to get really good. I don't think readers understand how much effort and time goes into them. I don't disagree that a book *can* be written quickly though, and be good...or at least, decent. But most take quite a while. Maybe 6 months of planning, 2 - 3 months to write the first draft, 3 months of reflection, and than another 6 months of redrafting. That's almost a year and a half right there. And of course, there are books that are excellent, and took a long, long time to write. Gone With The Wind, 10 years. Oscar Wao, 11 years. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, 10 years. You don't know much about writing if you think books should be written in a few months or weeks.

Bl-Rays for £15? Lol. You'd be hard pushed to get a DVD player for much less than £50, assuming it's a good one, not even a great one. As for MP3 players, I doubt they sell nearly as well as they used to, but they still sell quite well. I know you imagine people hate music, but I don't think that's the case, and it's nice to have a dedicated music player. Can you go for more than a few days without embarrassing yourself?


Ok my bad, blu ray players are still slightly more expensive than I thought. No idea why you think I think people hate music though snu. What I'm saying is that smartphone capacities are now such that you could store over 30,000 songs on them. Maybe you should figure out how much music you think you can listen to snu snu, because I doubt anyone on this planet needs more than that kind of capacity for a portable device unless they're going into the wild for 2 months and plan to never listen to the same song more than once.


You seem to be losing touch with reality. Way off statements about the cost of things, to say nothing of this idea you have that people still don't use their MP3 players from a few years ago. Sells may not be that strong now, but people still use their pre-existing iPods and Zunes, or whatever.

You're so behind snu snu that you haven't realised yet that half the things you listed are already more or less obsolete.

MP3 players are unnecessary with modern smartphones and most people are moving to streaming as it gets better and better.

Smart phones are still relevant though. Have you considered getting one on contract? You can get one for "free" if you sign up for that.

+ Up to date with technology, e.g. phones and consoles
+ Internet savvy

- Too obsessed with technology
- Very questionable attitude to things like sex

Overall, I gave millennials a good grade, and think we're probably the best generation thus far (although the later generations could be better, and hopefully will improve on things further).

I sometimes think I'm quite behind on technology. It's partly because of lack of money, but also there were times when I wasn't that interested. Let's see.

- I've never owned a smart phone of any kind
- I've never owned an MP3 player
- I don't use a Blu-Ray player for films and TV boxsets, but rather DVD players (although I have access to a Blu-Ray player)

I started to realise, the last couple of years, I'm actually sorta behind on technology, and these days, that impacts your lifestyle choices negatively quite a lot. I mean, smart phones in particular. Smart phones have been around for 10 years, and I've never owned one. Originally, it was because I didn't give a flying fuck, but now it's kinda a money thing. I don't know.

Do you think I'm somewhat behind on technology? Do you think you are?
