Which is it now, lol. First you accuse me of being the one with the old attitude. Then you turn around and say I think everything that is modern is good (which I never said, actually) and that I’m a progressive. Which is it, old attitude, new attitude? No attitude at all? Make up your mind.

Actually, if you recall, it was you who first accused SmokinJoe of having an old attitude. to wit: " But again, you must be yet another generation or two above mine, as your attitude is old. And elitist". Your words.

Age is a continuum, and opinions and attitudes often swing like a pendulum among individuals and the society. My perspective, being 20 years your junior and having been immersed in technology for almost 30 years is that Joe's attitude is now being embraced by more and more adults (I don't much pay attention to the under 25 crowd as they change opinion more often than their underwear).

Joe (and MinuteGal) also didn't say everything modern was bad. So then what's your point in disagreeing with them and calling their attitude "old and elitist"? They said, to paraphrase, not everything about technology is wonderful, it has it's place but can also be a problem. You quite emphatically disagreed with that, yet you now say that "everything modern is good" is putting words in your mouth. So which is it? Make up your mind.

“But again, you must be yet another generation or two above mine, as your attitude is old. And elitist”. Your words.”

Both true.

“Joe (and MinuteGal) also didn’t say everything modern was bad. So then what’s your point in disagreeing with them and calling their attitude “old and elitist”?”

LOL, that’s really funny. I disagree with Joe, I was pinging MinuteGal to read this for a totally different reason, not because I disagree with her. She’s not here to disagree with, lol. If you only knew, lol again.

“Joe (and MinuteGal) also didn’t say everything modern was bad. So then what’s your point in disagreeing with them and calling their attitude “old and elitist”? They said, to paraphrase, not everything about technology is wonderful, it has it’s place but can also be a problem.”

You don’t even realize that MinuteGal hasn’t been on this thread, do you. And yet you speak as if she was, “Joe (and MinuteGal), and “They said, to paraphrase...” No, she didn’t say, as she’s not here. Looks like you’re the one who is putting words in her mouth. Someone who’s not even on this thread. Very good. Put your specs on and kick your brain up a notch. I know, it’s early.
