Can you imagine telling the “can’t function without an APP people” that they have to live without a Smart Phone… Oh wait… w/out a cellphone… Oh wait… w/out internet… Oh wait w/out call waiting/answering machine..etc..

AND yet still communicate?

Welcome to the first 1/2 of a #GenX Life.

Ha! Funny.

It’s not about what’s new ..: I am flummoxed as to why it’s so difficult to use spoutible w/out the APP. Will be great when it’s here but….

So it makes me think how we managed to communicate before we had any of it.

But I didn’t know I was supposed to socialize with my GPS.

We had to show up when we said we'd meet somewhere because there was no way to let the other person know you couldn't make it. So you got your a$$ there.

I miss that.

I do too. But not the part when something went wrong or there was a miscommunication. Then hearts were broken.

I'm mid-70s GenX and I spent the first few years of my life without a phone, period.
I still remember being excited when we finally got one and we were listed in the phonebook.

And yet you managed to communicate w/out an APP. Such survival skills.

Would mid-seventies make you a Boomer? GenX born after 1965.

You missed the open window and within ear shot of Your Mom yelling Your name to get back into the house before the pager.

How long does it take us to understand that things get weird?

Like I had 99+ notifications! 🙄

Why they had to fuck my mind, though... ?Weird.

I don't know my own phone number. I remember the one from my childhood home.

Seriously? My grandchildren don't know my phone number. Well that's just stupid.
