Young people just take all this for grated. It's their world. And for us it is a new world. Not for them. But there will be new in their lives also. Change is always happening. To live is to change.

We had one of the electronic windows on my mom's old car stop working and never got it fixed as the expense ($500-$700) wasn't worth it. And now so much more is computerized.

One day this past week I kept tying in the wrong password at work; I'm surprised I didn't get locked out. There must be more than 4 tries before that happens. LOL.<br /><br />I have my smart phone, could take it or leave it. Ditto for my Kobo e-reader. I have it for convenience and storage space reasons only. I don't have a car, and none of my appliances is "smart," nor do I want them to be. I would NOT give up the internet and email, however. :-)Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
