Reminds me of a story about a women that was born in 1861 and died in 1970 at 109, she remembered her parents taking her to watch Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession and lived long enough to see the first moon landing. It most have seemed like waking up in science fiction movie...
I wonder about that too.
My grandma was born and grew up while there were still horses and buggies, and lived to see a man on the moon, and even the beginnings of the internet.
She went to a one room schoolhouse. My own mother spent the early elementary grades in that same one room schoolhouse in the late 20s early 30s.
If someone lives into their 80s or 90s or 100s, they will be living in a very different world.
I wonder if technology will leave some of us behind. For example, a friend of the family, an 88 year old matriarch of her family, hardly ever goes online and doesn’t do e-mail. She doesn’t want pictures online, she like actual pictures printed out and placed in a photo album.
Technology is always changing as time goes on, and I wonder if some of us will be left behind. I myself am online a lot, but don’t do Facebook. I don’t do internet streaming such as Netflix type services; I just haven’t had the interest in learning about that. Who knows if other technology will come along that not all of us will participate in as time goes on.
