These technologies can make life easier can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups get medical information the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.
Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously equally there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor.
