The discovery of electricity.
Men learning to fly in machines.
Men who landed on the Moon.
Machines that went to Mars.
The first computer.
And now...
The price barrier for sodas out of a vending machine has been broken.
The 50 cent soda is no more.
11 August 2005.
Sodas are now 60 cents where I work.
I do not remember when sodas were 25 cents.
I can barely remember when a McDonald's hamburger was 15 cents.
But it seems like the price for a soda from a vending machine has been 50 cents forever.
It made me think that the price of oil triggered this.
Or maybe I am just too much of a sentimentalist who cannot face inflation or reality.
