Sometimes I just have to shake my head in amazement, modern-day technology cracks me up

When I say modern-day, I want to narrow that down to the last 5 years or so, I mean we all have heard about the war stories of what it was like without computers.

Now check this out, according to Devils Lake Journal "The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) announced back in December customers may now take their driver's license knowledge test online" Really?

The worst part about those darn tests was worrying that if you failed, you would have to wait another 45 hours before you attempted to take it again
