  “Give me the clip, not the VOD.” How do you do, fellow kids?

  Damn…

  I’m Gen Z and I feel like I’d still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy…

  We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.

  “Give me the Reader’s Digest condensed version.”

  “How does what a reader eats have anything to do with this? and why would we need a condensed version of that diet description?”

  oh god, I’m old.

    Hey kids! Anything interesting in the latest TV Guide?

    Oh really? I’ll have to set up my DVR to tape it, I’ll be at a doctor appointment when the first episode airs…

        Brother, if you remember that, you are old by young people standards.

        I remember being … around 10 and poking fun at my not even 40 yet dad for using a dot matrix printer and fax machine… in the late 90s.

        That’s not too far from the same age gap as the TV Guide / DVR thing.

        A 10 year old now would probably make fun of a person having a digital document scanner at home. What’s the point? Just take a picture of the document with your 8384 megapixel smartphone.

        On that note: Polaroids, film cameras, low grade digital cameras or camcorders as fairly common household items, fucking landline home phones.

        Most kids born in the last 10 or 15 years would laugh at these, or the idea of them, just like I laughed at a dot matrix printer and home fax machine in the late 90s, or grandma still having a rotary phone instead of a cordless home phone.

        Jesus, I don’t think I’ve actually thought about the last time I made a home phone call on a phone with a cord.

  I just say “I don’t need your whole life story” but that is kinda rude and wouldn’t work well with clients lol
