Hanging out with old people is fun anyway, I used to love doing that as a kid. Sat with them while they played bridge and learned a whole lot about life from them. Somehow I don’t think the boomers would be as kind to children nowadays, as a whole, but there’s still decent old folks left if you know where to look.

That’s just the way it is now. Humans used to go generations with minimal change. In this alien existence we’ve created things change drastically in just a decade or two. That said a lot of things still never change like human behavior or motivations. There’s still a lot of wisdom about life someone can gather and pass down as they see fit. As they say, the more things change the more they stay the same.

It’s hard to explain to young people how much the world changed just about 15 years ago, when the Smartphone was first released. That was an invention on par with the TV.

I’ll never forget the first moment in like 2010. I was out at the zoo, willed out my phone and looked up a restaurant nearby instead of just going out and looking for one and then I was aware we were all fucked. Totally plugged in to the internet all the time anywhere anytime.
