It's strange how some boomers think using old tech is more important that using the modern one.

Let's put them in a room with an old style printing press and not let them out until they've printed a news article on it.

Maybe add in a butter churn too.

Old tech isn't used anymore for a reason.

Just don’t be surprised when that “new generation” tells you to get fucked when you can’t access your email, log into Facebook, or turn on your tv.

Terrible meme, also don't think that just because we're young we don't know how old technology works.

My kids still learned traditional clock telling time back in 1st grade and started cursive in 3rd grade at public school. Really wish these boomers would stop with the sensationalism gaslighting bull shit tropes.

Ok but tbh public school does a really shitty job of teaching cursive now days I’m out of highschool and I can only write my signature in cursive

If you want to frighten an generation, use senile people as president, allow greedy and dangerous people to store nuclear bombs and you pretty much set. As bonus leave the planet baking so they can be worried about the consequences that may happen.

(Im more unsettled by the fact that im going to university and that my life has begun to get serious)

How is an analog watch out of date?

MonKeePuzzle t1_j6n7qqw wrote

time is a construct, we've never needed them

also, even before I carried a phone with me 100% of the time I never needed a watch. There's sufficient clocks in the world.

It all still works?

A rotary phone won't have any kind of answering machine functionality and a TV made without a remote in mind probably so old that it can't display digital signals.

It doesn't work anymore. Even if it's still top quality of its bygone era, society has agreed that more modern technology is to be the new standard that old items fail to match.

I was raised to write in cursive and I'm 16 (part of this new shitty generation) so I'd be fine with all these tbh. I love me some old useless tech

They were loud, but reliable. And we were allowed to ignore them.

I had an old tv as a kid. I also had a real rotary phone as a toy and my school taught me to write cursive so i can also read it. Checkmate boomers.

The funny thing is that us the new generation, are fed up with our elders being in their phones non-stop, most of parents and elders now are always looking at their tv or mobiles or both at the same time, i remember we were being punished and disciplined for looking at screens for too long(over 2 hours) daily, but now they got their heads in phones almost the entire day...
