About a year ago, I was in an upstate NY antique shop. There was an old rotary phone (circa 1950s style). A young guy (maybe 20?) was studying it. Picked up the receiver, put it down. Then tried to use the rotary dial in a weird way. He couldn’t figure out how this all worked. I suddenly felt very old.
Boomer here. I send checks to my kids for Xmas because I have no idea what to buy for them. But that’s it. Pay the bills through the bank website. No more trying to balance a checkbook. The checks I have now will probably last until I die. …..which still could be 40 years if I’m lucky.
Funny, I was just arguing this point YESTERDAY. It’s SO annoying! I really miss the days with regular old TV (pre-cable). There were a lot of good movies on, like the things you now have to pay for on Turner Network. Or is that TMC? Whatever. And yeah, lots of the movies that stream are really old, poor quality stuff. Like from the ’70s. Pay more? I think not.
That’s an astute observation!
