I was reminded of that just yesterday.
Talking to a neighbor (a few years older than I), who I am trying to talk into a "large" screen cell phone -
I told him that cell phones and I parted ways back in '86, about when they started getting small enough to lose.
And then I thought to myself, "self that is 30 years ago", or two generations of 'new' electronic device users (if that first generation had discovered them when they started school).
= = = =
And then a few weeks ago, another neighbor (this one barely old enough to vote) needed a data cable for his cell phone. . . .
And went to great lengths to explain the difference between mini and micro USB connectors.
? ? ? ? ?
What generation does he think implemented/introduced all the electronic cr** they carry in their pockets?
- - - - -
Much to his surprise, I was able to find the cable he needed (in the back of my '84 Ford van
).
I didn't mention where I found it.
