Progress...A Matter of Perspective

I can remember being a little kid and being so impressed with cars that had power windows.  Whenever I got a chance to ride in a car with those little buttons that made the windows go up and down, I simply couldn't resist the allure of playing with them.  I would pull the silver switch back to make the window go down, and no sooner would the window reach the bottom, I would push the button forward causing the window to close again -  this would continue of course until someone yelled "STOP PLAYING WITH THE WINDOW!"  All of which made the followinga little more ironic.

My friend and neighbor was picking up my son Timmy for baseball practice (I coach the team but had the day off to take my daughter to Fenway), and when they were a few minutes from the house, Timmy asked Bob "What are these things?", referring to the cranks for his manual windows.  Once told what they were, he was fascinated with the manual levers, cranking the windows down, then up, then down, until finally Bob calls out "STOP PLAYING WITH THE WINDOW!"  It just goes to show you how sometimes what's old is new again!
