Dottleshead Posted February 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2020 I acknowledge I am getting older and I like things not as wham bam thank you mam. I hear stuff on the airwaves now that have a very short life span because the next latest and greatest thing has replaced it. No doubt it's the new age, computer age that has come about. Even though I work in the industry, I don't own the latest and greatest cell phone and people are generally surprised to learn I'm a throw back when it comes to burning wood. I just find that the pace of things is starting to pass me by and I really don't care. I'm officially old, huh? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think despite it being one of the hallmarks of age, I don't think it specifically denotes getting older as much as it does just being jaded and tired of getting excited for the next big thing. Since we work in the industry we see it more often than most people-- the new processor, the new cell phone, the new operating system, etcetera. So our jadedness is accelerated, and therefore you're still young! You can be out of touch and still be young, I see it more often these days. People of my generation and the one after it are creeping deeper and deeper into our anti-social Internet caves. P.S. just kidding you're all old and I'm the only young one on this dang site P.P.S. I'm 27 now. I USED TO BE THE YOUNG ONE! Someone find my cane 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that means is we still sacrifice sleep time for 'our' time. What that also means is the day is coming where we won't have the option of fighting it and being stupid anymore. That choice will be removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretend I'm a teenager and the repeat 5-6 hours of sleep is slowly killing me probably. I gotta stay up so I can play my vidja games though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we are on similar paths. Maybe you will be smarter though and go to bed earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find that the pace of things is starting to pass me by and I really don't care. I'm officially old, huh? I think it's more like you're officially wise. The latest often does not offer any meaningful improvement over previous, now cheaper models. I know people who think store brand food is "welfare food" and will pay $1.58 for Campbell's Condensed Soup instead of the equally good $0.49 same-sized cans from Aldi. My Samsung Galaxy S7 takes pictures/video basically as good as the new 2 and 3 camera phones. I know people who replaced HD TV's with 4K TV's of the same capabilities even though everything they watch is between 1080i and 480i. On the other hand, every really good discount store between Baltimore and Annapolis has been pointed out to me by people making well into six-figure salaries. One went into a Goodwill store, bought furniture for next to nothing, had the chairs reupholstered and now they're the must stunning things in her living room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
