ugh, old people are so annoying nowadays.

A man was upset with another company’s front desk for the reason that the woman at the desk did not answer the phone after hours. When she told him the best way to contact her company after hours was through e-mail, he informed her he does not have e-mail. Not only does he not have e-mail but also his whole company is not hooked up to the Internet. He then got angry. Who is at fault?

Technology, is it a choice or an adaptation?

If you’re incapable of setting up your e-mail account onto your smart phone, take it to the store, this is kiddy stuff; please!

We have no patience for you. We will begin to get frustrated, turn our backs, and walk away. What am I talking about? The young verses the new. The hip verses the lame. Have you’ve ever tried teaching someone older how to “text”? We thought that was the worst, which turned out to be quite the contrary. Now, we can watch a newspaper, listen to a magazine, and see a phone call, hold an entire bookstore, and take classes anywhere.

The older generation turned their noses up towards new technology, claiming they didn’t need it. Well guess what, you need something when it’s the only thing. I mean did they really believe they could get through life without a cell phone or e-mail address? No, you cannot. You need to adapt. I don’t have patience for the older generation who was late on this adaptation. Sorry, you should of listened to us earlier when we said this makes things easier, technology is taking over, and you’re going to be left with no other choice. Now, we’re left to teach them!

You just got back from a nice weekend on the lake with the family. Your aunt calls asking to send her copies of the pictures you have taken. You tell her they will be uploaded tonight and you will shoot them over in an attachment to her e-mail address. She then asks if you can please get the pictures developed and send them in the mail; “it will be much easier for me.” Sorry Aunt Pam, no lake house pictures for you this year! Adapt and get back to me!

But they tell us, “Why fix something that isn’t broken?” Convey that thought to the engineers making this stuff! It’s not our fault the world of communication is changing. It’s not our fault we saw the bigger picture. It’s not our fault we were intelligent enough to know what a revolution is. Do you see horses on the roads anymore? No, that is illegal! Can you buy a cassette player at Best Buy? No! Do you have a huge black box on your car floor with a phone on the other end? No!
