These are the worst of times for technology

Foundry Group NOV. 12 - 13, 2013

San Francisco, CA




Time for a new Foundry Group video. If you want the backstory, go take a look at the post . If you just want a break from reality and hopefully a few laughs in the process, enjoy.



The video hasmore than 100 easter eggs referring to either portfolio companies of ours or other things in our lives. Some are obvious (like the T shirts), some are very obscure. If you find one, list it in the comments. The best, most obscure one will win a special treat.



Lyrics below.Man, things are so hard these days



Tell me about it. I wish we could go back to when things just worked



You know, those old guys don't know lucky they had it with all their technology 30 and 40 years ago



Y'all, you straight. Let me drop a story on you



I'm king of email, I craft a witty header



Anywhere, any time, life is so much better



Ninety unread emails. Inbox zero, hashtag #FAIL!



Life was better when we licked and stamped our letters



Gonna hit a new club with my favorite homie



Got GPS Satellites watchin' over me



They got me to the spot, but they were off a block



Life was better when we trusted Rand McNally



Took 28 pictures of my gourmet dinner



I want to post them for all the world to honor



I shared on Instagram. No likes, I got no fans



My life was better with photos made of paper



I need a fact so I do a search on Google



All these results man, are giving me an eyeful



I see Viagra ads, That shit's for older dads



My life was better using Dewey Decimal



Chorus: These are the worst of times (repeat)



So many videos, I could waste away my years



I'm rockin' Gangnam Style, Harlem Shake has me in tears



Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, I got no time for you



Life was better with my TV and rabbit ears



Check out my new phone. Global connectivity



3G, 4G, I even got my LTE



So then I phoned my pop But still the damn call dropped



Life was better with faxes and a rotary



I found a website. Amazon, they sell it all!



Silk boxers, gouda cheese, they even got robotic balls



Addicted to "One Click." Right to my house they ship



Y'all life was better fighting traffic at the shopping mall



I got my choice of every album ever made



iTunes, Spotify, anywhere I want it played



I just can't choose between, Iron Maiden, Beiber, Sting



Life was better with my vinyl and mix tapes



Chorus: These are the worst of times (repeat)
