It’s not that brain-melting. Taken one day at a time, the shift was very gradual.

I feel like its an advantage to know the analog way to do things in addition to the current norms. For example, navigating by paper map and direction of the sun, like some kind of land pirate.

Vhs? We used to be plopped into the local movie house to allow mom to go out on play. Videotape was something arcane used by the TV news crews

I was born in 1983 and I’m old enough to remember having only 5 tv channels, vcr’s, and you couldn’t get on the internet if your mom was in the phone.

FUCK YOU! I understand crypto and STILL have a VHS tape I never returned. pfft. arrogant youth. now where do i push to send this to reddit?

Cryptocurrency or cryptography?

The former you don’t really need to understand fully to use, but the latter is vital and indeed brain-melting.

I may be older but I know how to take a selfie without my phone in it.

I remember when you had to fill out a contract and leave a deposit to rent a VCR. You also had to make an appointment because the video store only had 2 or 3 machines. The whole neighborhood would come over and everyone would watch together.

Yeah, let’s see you write a new autoexec.bat file with whatever text editor came on a DOS3.2 floppy that’s infected the the Stoned virus after you stupidly deleted autoexec.bat from your 386 by going to the library and checking out some books.

It hasn't been that hard in my experience. Ignore shifts in the social landscape until the yung'ins reach a consensus about it, and always remember that time just before the dotcom crash when a company got venture funding to deliver tuna subs by mail.
