My boomer parents can fix things I can’t, or fix them faster, in many cases. But when they need to fix electronics they call me. Often it’s something very basic, like “restart your phone, that should do it.” But the first time I tried to play a 45rpm record, I needed instruction on how to center that big hole over that skilly silver pole. “Just use your finger” really didn’t suffice.
It’s mostly a matter of technology, which always changes but has been an integral part of human life for ages.
However, I’ve seen college students trip on curbs because they’re so absorbed in their phones. Zombies do walk among us, often right in front of our vehicles. I’m grateful they aren’t driving.
FTR, I have never viewed Tiktok. Far too busy.
They used to have little discs that fit into the hole of the 45’s with the very small hole in the middle for that purpose!!
We've always joked, since the kid was about 8, this place would have fallen apart without him.
