Interesting video!

I think the economic experiences of the second half of the video are more likely to be the ones that impact that particularly delicate slice of the population more dramatically than the earlier stuff about remembering how things were and adapting to change since a whole bunch of older geezers navigated that transition just as well and just as eagerly, I would say.

Yes, there are plenty of rigid old dinosaurs out there, but plenty of oldies embraced digital and Internet new tech just as they had embraced many other new (now old) techs back in the day.

I fondly remember abandoning the use of carrier pigeons for the telegram, and laying aside my quill and ink pot for a typewriter.

Those were the days!

Well, I blamed myself so many times when my businesses went in the wrong direction... I mean, yes, I knew about the global crisis, but still, after the second attempt, the same result, I doubted in myself a lot... Maybe still do... I wasn't able to even save any money in my first 25-30 years, and I was working some loooong shifts... Those were very "limited resources" mentioned in the video... Always trying to "fit in the budget" 😃

Hehehehe... I remember having pen pals when I was a kid... Writing letters on paper and sending other kids around the country... Those were the days! 😃

Have a great week! 🍻
