(15,435 posts)interested in reading this. I've thought for some time now that technology is moving too fast for myself, but then I'm a Boomer so naturally I would think this way.
I do recall way back when I saw President Carter sitting in the Oval Office in his sweater talking about "energy" etc., but he was attacked as some sort of kook! I felt it made sense given "gas lines" back then and time has proven him to be way ahead with his comments. It was a bold step for a President to make, but VERY FEW supported him.
Yes, I find myself unable to keep up with new ways of communicating and have decided it's consumed too much of my time trying to figure it all out. I've told my grandkid how uncomfortable I am with the lack of "human" interaction and how I feel about how they HAVE to have something in their hand to keep in touch! I have to admit that I ignore texts because I feel it's so impersonal. And "tweeting," not even going there! They can call me any names they want, but perhaps I won't be here in 25 or 30 years!
To think ahead about what's going to happen is more than depressing. I just don't recall generations moving at such a fast pace. I have theories about what it means, but kind of scary to talk about. Sure generations change, but we are speeding at a rate that makes me worry too much!
