I'm guessing "computers" means PC, but I dunno what "mobiles" means. 12 years is too long for iPhones (what's pictured) and too short for AMPS.

More generally, I think those numbers reflect much more on the capital costs required to grow the userbase of each device than anything else.

We're still quite a ways from Micheal summoning KITT to pick him up.





By this point, Micheal has been captured by the bad guys, sold to a Columbian gang to pay off a drug debt, and traded to North Korea in exchange for man-portable SA missiles under the false promise that the technology inside his watch would allow them to solve their ICBM guidance problems.

TL;DR: Take out loans you can't afford to repay, then blame others for your situation and demand debt-forgiveness.

As is typical, the title of the video is mis-leading. Overall some good advice by WB. Note that this was in 1999, a little before student loans got out of hand. WB is suggesting to come out of college with no debt and a bit of savings. Do what you enjoy and live wiithin your means.

Joe, yes, it is a bit long.

^I lucked out, I guess, in that since. I graduated in Dec 2005 and was able to consolidate all my loans to a ridiculously low rate. Like it's lower than inflation so I have never bothered trying to pay it off early.
