They have access to all the world's information. They can travel across continents in a number of hours for less than two weeks wages. They can push a button on their phone to have gourmet food delivered to their house in under an hour. They can press another button on their phone to fetch a personal driver that will deliver them to any destination. They can choose to drive themselves, of course, and can travel hundreds of miles in an affordable, smooth ride that beats even a gold adorned horse drawn carriage, while streaming music from any decade or century. They can learn almost any skill. They can converse instantly with anyone in the world in a way that beats even magic mirrors of medieval fantasy.

If you had to choose between being Louis XVI or Henry VIII and a middle class American in Cleveland, Ohio, what would you choose?
