back in the day...

today i was just thinking about the trends of my generation.
ya know, like your parents say what the "big things" were back in the day.
i'm sure we will tell our kids about facebook.
i found this satire website and it was making fun of facebook...
saying that someday in text books it will talk about the
facebook massacre of 2009. when the layout changed and there was
uproar and uprising. no one liked it and everyone voted.
then it eventually died down and people got used to it.
but still, it made the history books.
then again, by then our kids probably won't be studying out of books.
there'll be laptops on every desk, or some other crazy technology
we can't even dream of right now.
i can also see myself saying to the kids,
"back in my day we had to actually drive the car to the gas station
and fill it up with gas. prices always rose. then fell.
and it was always in the news."
can't you see it??
i already feel like i'm behind the times in what i can do with technology,
so i can't imagine how much my children will make fun of me
for what i can't do in terms of the computer, gps, cell phone world.
even on my mac. i don't use it for 3/4ths the things it can do.
"i love technology, but not as much as you, you see" blahh. technology.
