I’m nostalgic for the days I could climb a ladder and pick myself up when I fell. When we moved in here, I replaced most of the light bulbs myself. They were a mix of incandescent and compact florescent bulbs, which I replaced with LED bulbs. I used a ladder to reach ceiling lights. Now, I have to report a burned out bulb and let the maintenance crew replace it. They only use LED bulbs now.
I worked for The Telephone Company for 32 years, and nearly all the equipment in use when I started was replaced by the time I retired. Some of it was replaced twice. I kept up on what was happening outside the company, and got a cell phone back when they were analog and had telescoping antennae. I replaced it a couple of times. Then the iPhone was released, about 5 years into retirement. I waited until the iPhone 5 to make that jump. I moved to the 8, then the 13. My desktop kept changing, too, and I’m overdue to upgrade that, again. At 82, I have no fear of technology.
But they prevent everything else from sticking together.
