Technology is changing so incredibly fast it's hard to keep up.
Especially, for the Boomers but we've managed to figure out texting,
E-mail, and smart phones. Not as quickly as the younger generation,
true enough. Way back in the dark ages we learned to read books that
had big heavy pages and we wrote letters with a thing called an ink
pin. We gave them to a guy on a horse and he rode hell bent to hand
the mail off to another rider to delver them. It was tough but we
evolved. Even our telephones were primitive, huge bulky things
tethered to the wall with a cord and had a dangerous dial that
sometimes strained our finger to turn it. Oh yeah we did have cameras
but not married to our phones. You had to wait a week for the prints
to come back before you knew which ones to delete.
You
neo-tech gurus are so smug at how tech savvy you are, but if your
operating systems go down you look so funny staring at blank
screens. I just crack up when the panic fills your eyes when your
bars disappear. If there is to be an Apocalypse it won't be from
zombies. It will be when a terrorist figures out how to shut down the
net cutting you off from your movie and game library in the cloud.
Pandemonium! You'll all start eating each other. We old farts
however will just light a lantern, dust off a copy of Huck Finn then
wait for the lights to come back on.
THAT STILL
MAKES US SMARTER THAN YOU SO WIPE THAT ARROGANT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE
NURD-PUNK.
