Just wait for your kids trying to introduce you to teleportation devices. Would be - ironically - funny to see you struggling.

It's as if we have to give older people a two day guided tour of the internets. Web browsers, youtube, hotkeys, cat videos, etc. It is so embarrassing to watch my parents when they try to show me something on their computer...I can't even look sometimes.

You just gotta think of them as silly bears.

I am looking forward to it. I am going to be staring at the buttons and back at them for about ten minutes without saying a word. Whenever they try and tell me something, I will interrupt them telling them I know what I am doing.

Of course. It's also the reason behind why we don't read manuals.

ok....now you gave me the idea to keep my old gameboy (in working condition) until I'm extremely old to give to my grand children.
They will look at it for 3 seconds and throw it in the bin...those annoying brats with their PS 21s.

I dunno, you think kids would be interested in old 8 bit technology in 2065? I mean, im interested in Atari and that thing is like 40 years old or so already.

Yes. Poseurs will be interested 10/10. Especially in selling this worthless crap to "back in my days" 70-yo nerds.

Well. being serious, for as long as the interface doesn't change it won't be a problem for us to adapt. We'll be totally fucked only after we change touch for sight and/or mental transmission of the information.

For me it's enough to compare how my father, me and my younger sister are using the keyboards. My father writes using it two times slower than he is when he's using his pen. My tempo is slightly faster than my handwriting and my sister can write as fast as she's talking. All of us started using keyboards for communicating at the same time - my father being 42, me being 18 and my sister being 14.

Hipsters are eternal, Shadow Jaeger.

I'm sure there will be. Along with the "I was born in the wrong generation" kids.

Suppose....im just really interested in the old technology is all. The fact i can play Zelda link to the past on a web page i find amazing on how far along we came in such short years.

My parents sound incomprehensible when they text...just...what?

You'd think it'd be easy to communicate through text so long as you're literate but it seems to take an experienced text user to casually communicate and explain your thoughts.

It must just look dumb because in comparison it's my goto form of communication and comes easily to me. I am also well versed in the art of sarcasm and use of several various emoticons to convey emotion and meaning not usually conveyed through written word alone.

I dislike how my mon and stepdad use excessive amounts of emoticons. It looks childish and out of place for an adult...or a person of any age.

Well...I confess I have a bad habit in overusing emoticons and I realize it probably looks dumb but dang I cant help it, text seems so bland without it sometimes. I try to intentionally stop doing it sometimes x3 and fail...

My stepmom almost always uses triple periods instead of commas, or when ending a sentence, and ends most texts with triple periods as well.

My boss uses shorter words like 2nite and other stuff.

My dad is the only literate texted I know besides some of you furs.

I like to avoid texting because of the lack of emotion that you get from a real conversation with others. Texting is usually just a go to thing for getting a quick message across, at least to me.

Dude, my neck of the woods :D. Did you head up past Utica for anything? Mainly SUNY ESF stuff up by me, but I imagine there's some for Ithaca. Or was it mainly Finger Lakes? Get to do any fracking research?


Also...I may be high right now. :) Do the poooot.
I actually dated an ESFer for a bit, haha. And no fracking research though I was involved in the local activist community for a while.

id would rather have excessive emotes than My Mother Talking Like This And Punctuating Every Sentence With Instances Of Passive Aggressiveness

When the thread turns to talking about parents, I'm kind of at a loss as to what to say. I have zero family left save about three immediate relatives. My aunt does only use texts to tell me to call here, which is superfluous to me.

On the subject of emoticons, the only one I'll ever be happy to receive is the Korean shrug, which came out of the Starcraft community. It's rather charming: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
