17 year old teenagers baffled by rotary phone

...or if people had to grow their own bessie, raise her, feed her, care for her, we'd be inundated with bloody vegans.

Right, because everyone has acres to grow livestock.

How else do you call your butcher when the power and 4g goes out? Tin cans and string? Try telling the kids how that even works... Oo

I have a genie. My power never goes out.

Why? I know how to use a rotary phone, eat steaks, kill my own food, and hunt. I'm not the one who will be going feral and making YOU lock and load.

Why do I need to worry about any of that if I can shoot straight? All my neighbors know they are sandwiches.

Don't forget the ash to ensure the tans are properly treated.

No worries, I cooked my intern so I'll use his.

Wrong sort of ash, you freak!! Tell him you're sorry and go burn some wood..

kids on one end of the spectrum, and old senile masons on the other. I despair...

I don't believe there ever was a time most people could send a telegraph. It's not like there was one in every home.

There was also a time when people didn't have indoor plumbing and crapped in a pot. I sure do miss those days too just like I miss the days when we had little dials on our telephonic devices.

That's not the point. These things used to be common knowledge.

My wife's daughter kept telling up what a computer genius her son was. After hearing this for a while, she finally brought him over to impress us. He got on my desktop and totally failed because it wouldn't talk to him.

Us older folk are not much differnet you know. It all depends upon your knowledgebase. And everyone has a different knowledgebase. The key is the ability to think, innovate and adapt.

Actual example:
A close friend of mine was lamenting one winter when the power went out in his town. He was fearful of all the frozen food he had (literally hundreds of $$$ worth) going bad since there was no power to the freezer chest. After talking him off the ledge, I asked him if he could move the stuff to a bin in his garage. Puzzled he asked why I suggested that. I responded that, in this situation, the garage is you new BIG freezer chest. After all it is COLD outside, just like his freezer. And, being in the garage, it would be protected from being eaten by animals outside.

He was amazed....truly amazed.

To me, it was simple common sense.

I am just as clueless if you gave me a smartphone.

Ahh the wonders of technology eh... we can feed an army, but only if they're starving.

Even genies have their limits. 3 of mine went on strike last year. I'm using a salt lamp and scented candles as I type. Sod 'em, I should have used legal genies.

^^ I have nothing. Has the ringing of a great song though, all my neighbours are sammiches (feat: sticky curtains)

"kids on one end of the spectrum, and old senile masons on the other" I guess everyone does end up having the same level of intelligence.

It's already a reality in many developed countries and has been for some time. Take a trip to Europe or Japan.

No no no. The Millennial's want us to recycle. That being said they want us to drink our own urine. Possibly California will make it a law to preserve water as they already have "If It's Yellow Let It Mellow" flush campaign.

As a tweener, with angst and rage all pent up and ready to go, can you explain that to me, so I know exactly who I should vent my ire at?

Is it old people? I seethe when I see old people already. They're so old, and use those rotary phones and stuff... Grrr
