CharlieWarren is a big internet user compared to me. But I love it. He plays bridge on it. I use a lot of other. I use search. It's been a huge change in my life, and it cost me $100 a year or something like that. If I had to give up the plane or I had to give up the internet, the plane cost me a million and a half a year, the internet cost me $100 a year. I wouldn't want to give up either one of them, but I'd give up. the plane.
QuestionerInteresting. But our...
CharlieCharlie's giving up both. Are we going to be doing more... And I think everybody's going to be doing more things on the internet. It is growing in importance. And so, like it or not, we're dragged into modern reality.
QuestionerDoesn't sound like he likes it, doesn't.
CharlieNo, I don't like it. I don't like multitasking. I see these people doing three things at once, and I think, God, what a terrible way that is to think. I am so stupid that I have to think hard about a thing for a long time. And the idea of multitasking my way to glory has never occurred to me.
WarrenNow, the Internet, and it's changed many of our businesses. I mean, it's changed Geico's business very, very dramatically. And it's affecting, it affects them all to one degree or another. It's amazing to me. I mean, people get pessimistic about America and I think. I think in the last 20 or 25 years, well, just 20 years on the internet, how dramatically has changed your life. And, you know, the game is not over yet. There's all kinds of things that are going to happen to make life better. And Charlie may not think the internet makes life better, but when I compare trying to round up three other guys on a snowy day to come up in my house to play bridge versus snapping the thing on and having my partner in San Francisco there and two other friends and so on. In 10 or 20 seconds, I think the world has improved.
