Full discloser, there was no personal computers when I was growing up but that is no reason to not embrace the technology when I becomes available. Like most people, I bought my first computer when there was thing called the internet forming in the mid nineties and by 1999, I had my first personal website. It was a natural progression fueled by curiosity.
By the mid 2000s cellphones became mini computers that you can store in your pocket and suddenly, social media was born. Now people communicate thru many different forms of social media and text. It is a natural progression fueled by curiosity.
Here we are the close of 2015, and there are a vast majority of the over 50 crowd who just don't get it. They exist and go through life as if this new technology doesn't exist. They have their news delivered to their doorstep, they talk on a landline, and they think that Snapchat is something dirty.
Look, I get it. It takes time to change but it's been 20 years. I realize that when Henry Ford rolled out the first model T, It took a while for folks to stop riding a horse. but with today's new technology, its not going to slow down so people can catch up.
