One thing that is memorable about my generation that the last generation seems to have forgotten is the ability to adapt to new technology quickly. For young folks like us, the next big revolutionary product comes out and we get to know it like the backs of our hands in merely a few hours, while a lot of people in their thirties to their fifties can not even figure out how to use smart phones. Back in their days, I assume that they were able to figure out how their walk-man radios and their VCR players worked pretty quickly, so I do not understand how they can not even figure out these new products. It makes me wonder if we are rapidly evolving mentally as human beings to adapt to these new changes, like this story I enjoy called "Thumps" about adapting to changes of environment and lack of an accurate measurement of time.
