On Thursday's lead item: "Average is Over":
"On your comments about "Average is over".

"I am 63 years old. When I was growing up nobody in my city in Turkey earned a living on cell phones, computers, air-conditioning, or TVs. Let alone fast food.

"The amount of employment that has been created directly and indirectly in these industries is huge. Thanks again for the wonderful service."
