These one-liners have been around for years and they are pretty funny despite the idea seniors can’t use computers. We should be reminded it was people who are now seniors that created all this technology. Most millennials can’t engineer their way out of wet paper bag.

I started in ‘IT’ in 1975. IBM model 50 traffic records computer was my first assignment. I retired this year at 70 after 20 at IBM. My problem is that I’ve gotten to hate the reliance on tech by many people. People have become increasingly reliant on machines and don’t want to do anything for themselves.
I like GPS but I know how to use a map and compass. I like the cell phones but I don’t block traffic while I’m caught up in my little social media world. It’s gone too far.
From Ronald Reagan 1999 biographyThen Reagan turned to the activists. Initially he tried to engage them in dialogue, but he soon found that they only wanted to trade barbs and insults. Reagan’s quick-wittedness is apparent from records of some of those exchanges. At one campus meeting, a student told Reagan that it was impossible for people of Reagan’s generation to understand young people. “You grew up in a different world,” he said. “Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers.” Without missing a beat, Reagan replied, “You’re right. It’s true that we didn’t have those things when we were young. We invented them.”
