I once called my dad, and my step-mom said he was in the shower but he could talk anyway. I could here him shivering and kept saying "Dad, dry off, get dressed and call me back", and he kept saying "No, I'm alright". Over and over.

I hope that's not me in five years. Or next week.

Just think of the technology that you won't understand how to use when you get to that age.

Yeah a cell phone is one thing, a Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator is quite another!

Just think of all the technology I won't give a crap about and won't have to figure out how to use.

I seldom attempt to learn how to understand the latest technology these days, my kids do it for me.

Every time I am feeling superior over someone not knowing about the technology I know about, I also think of the technology they remember that I don't know.

These old guys may not know about cell phone functions, but I bet they know a lot more than I do about fixing cars and furnaces.
