No, not familiar with John Mayer. Is he an artist?

I was stationed at McClellan Air Force Base, Same Bat time, Same Bat channel. Well, that’s not the Seventies vernacular but still a remembrance.

Three year old kids know how to use a smart phone better than I do today. Sad. Well, kids are more in tune with the things that consume their attention the most. We just pay less attention to things they're totally glued to.

Give me a computer and I can do just about anything. Give me a smart phone and I’m totally lost but at least I know how to set up my smart devices on Alexa for my home. And boy was that a huge learning curve. My husband doesn’t even know how to text. So now when something goes wrong with Alexa, I have to fix it. LOL

Now when I think about it, that’s when they started the trend of making all white men on TV look stupid. You've got a point, but in the seventies (and earlier) it was really all for laughs. Blacks were the butt of jokes, too, but it was all in good fun.
Unfortunately, that newfound openness gave the hardcore left license to weaponize humor against white men and conservatives in general.
The fun has now gone completely out of it. Comedy, and now drama, have become deadly serious activities.

Isn’t Compton pretty much Mexican now? It's getting there. Mostly old black folks are left now.

My husband doesn’t even know how to text. Heh. I was the last person in my house to learn how to text.
Being married spoiled me ;-)

Not all of the contexts are completely accurate, but some of these terms and phrases are still in use by people older than 40.

I find it annoying. Especially when I’m out and about and he’s at home and I have to ask him a question, usually about a purchase. It would be so much easier if he turned his smart phone on so I could text him rather than having to call him. Men!

Who was Jack Webb for a thousand, Alex? Geez, how could I forget? I feel like a right dumbass now.

You've got a point, but in the seventies (and earlier) it was really all for laughs. Blacks were the butt of jokes, too, but it was all in good fun. Which is why I loved Richard Pryor. He could mock both blacks and whites in a manner they could laugh at it. They would crucify Pryor today for a lot of his material.
