No, don’t fucking scroll down to number three and see what it is. That’s not allowed. You have to let yourself be manipulated by me, because I say so. And I say you have to start at the beginning of this article, and you will enjoy it just fine.

It’s about how there are three tech things that have improved my quality of life one million percent. And at the end I am going to give you a chance to see if there is something else that has changed your life even more.

1. Yelp

I love Yelp. I don’t need to have friends any more who I ask for the name of a good plumber or whatever.

I prefer being alone. I am a total loner. People are surprised at that because I’m very charming and extroverted at parties.

It’s called an extrovert introvert. Or introvert extrovert, can’t remember which.

But now I can kick all my friends to the curb because I don’t need them any more. I have Yelp.

But seriously, the Yelp thing works two ways. It’s great for us, the consumers. When I want the best Thai restaurant in LA, boom, there it is. Yelp knows. Yelp don’t lie.
