It's so convenient, and I am still fond of my mobile phone and its plan. International calling is quite cheap and affordable on my budget! Oh, and Skype is quite lovely as well.
But, yes, you are correct. This civilization has grown unstable and rarely looks up to my kind anymore, or any deity. It is shame such success in medicine may end, but it is what it always is: those who ignore history are forever destined to repeat it.
