I-Pad? I just turned 67 1/2 years old and I am still getting used to ATM machines. They were the latest and greatest thing since sliced bread back in the mid 80's.
Now I do most of my banking on the internet. I have both my pension checks direct deposited to my accound and I can go on line anytime I want to see where all my funds are.
I pay all my bills on line and I have it set up to do it pretty much automatically and I am saving on the postage. Of course the bank is making out like a thief by having control of my funds for a few days and if you mulitply it by how many other people are enjoying this convenience the amount of interest gained by the using the FLOAT of these funds ammounts to a large chunk of change.
My cell phone is NOKIA. It has taken me years to get used to it and it is now 5 years old. If I could just replace it with a new one I would be a happy camper. But NO...I have to upgrade to something different with a ton more of features which will take me months to learn how to use.
Just think of the all the wonderful new technological improvements made to everything made since 1980. These have been a very exciting period of 30 years.
However I cannot take another 30 years of rapid change like the last 30. My mind is rapidily become dense and slow to react and I cannot adapt fast to new changes.
You wonder why I extol the virtues of riding my SM at the sedate and sane speed of 60 MPH? Here is the answer. I the need the extra reaction time afforded to my brain by riding slower to react to what I need to do to stay alive on my bike. When I am moving at 60 all is well and I am in control. Go to 70 MPH and my brain is moving like very cold oil on a winters day. I cannot keep up and I get nevous and insecure. I am now aiming the bike down the roadway and I no longer can react quickly enough to rapidly changing conditions to function well. I have exceeded my capacity to be a good rider at this speed.
Therefore you will find me farting along in the grandma lane on my bike. I will be enjoying the scenery, smells and generally being a person enjoying the outdoors and the magic of riding a motorcycle. I look for the less travelled roads and byways. I do not enjoy being passed at 80 MPH by an eighteenwheeler and the resulting blast of diesel tainted air. I can deal with the fast moving cagers at that speed to the big guys are not fun anymore.
Excuse me while I try to hook up my X-box to my Plasma TV. This looks to be an all week affair. I hope I do not have to call in the wise ****** 14 year old kid from next door to help me out. I have had this 360 x box video game for almost 6 months. I bought it when Tiger Woods was popular and now he is in the crapper. Man how time does change things....huh?

Well Dan, I pretty much agree with you about modern technology. I often think they change things just for the sake of changing Ipad? I can't see any use for one in regards to me. I know some people will need them, but not me Mobile phones? I think modern ones have forgotten what their primary purpose is, i.e. make and take phone calls. I've also noticed that newer ones don't bounce off the wall very well when I finally loose patience when all I want to do is make a phone call, but it wont let me. My current one is one I upgraded from years ago, and infact I upgraded from that upgrade, but at least I now know when someone is calling me Xbox? I've seen them in action. I don't want one Does this qualify me as a grumpy old git? I hope so, but am I old enough at 43  However, I am happy that my bike is an EFI

I don't hesitate to ask my kids to do something for me with my phone, digital camera, or any of the other over-engineered electronic crap around the house. Used to irk me, not anymore. I just go with it.
What bugs me now is after laboriously composing and sending a text message to one of my daughters (when they are in school or something), they reply in nanoseconds with long messages complete with capital letters in the right places and little faces made with combinations of punctuation marks.

Same here. Because I still have the upper hand. When the kids beaters break down, I'm the one who shows them how to get a starter off, or shows them how to use my 30 year old tire machine, or how to set up the frame on a shed properly. I'm always telling my boys, like when I'm showing them how to sharpen a chain saw chain, or such, "you boys remember this when I'm really old, and ain't worth a crap anymore, you remember and say to yourself, I remember when my dad could really fix stuff and was indispensible to me". They laugh with me when I say it, but I'm hoping they do remember, at least while they're taking me down to the "Soylent Green" center!

I'm torn. I like my gadgets, I have an ipod touch, cell phone with slide out qwerty keyboard (when did qwerty become a word, by the way?), PlayStation 3, flat screen TV with DVD, bluray player, even today I went out and got a Garmin GPS (nice!). But I have old motorcycles, I like to work on them (even if the project is slow going), I used to pull the motor in my Bronco and be driving again in a matter of hours, had a '50 Chevy and got it running, you guys know about the Dodge and my love of the classic cars... I guess it depends on if you really want to know about things. If you're interested, you'll learn. Funny thing is, I remember a point in my life where I was just as confused hooking up my 4 component rack system stereo as I was replacing a water pump. I'm 32 and I will try to keep on top of the digital technology as much as I try to keep learning new things about obsolete technology (flatheads, anyone?)
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Well Rich, you COULD end up gettin' the last laugh on your kids, ya know.
Yep, I can see it all now ....
"GEEEZ, guys! NOW it's too LATE!!! Couldn't we have taken poor ol' Dad to the Soylent Green Center AFTER we made sure that there was no hope of him remembering how he installed that clevis pin in our homemade elevator he built way back in 2008!!!"

Well, given the title of this thread, I had to dig up that great tune by Bob Dylan written in 1964. Here's an excerpt...
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
Yup, good ol' Robert Z saw the writing on the wall even way back then!!
Live to love, love to live.

Definately some good writing there! And Dave pretty much addded what I could have said. Another thing I tell the kids, when they give me that impatient look, is "Hey, I've got a lot of stuff stored up here in the ole brain, and I don't have room for any more irrevelant crud like cell phone shortcuts!" And Dwight, if it would just quit RAINING!!!, I could be a little farther along with that elevator design! Although I finally got the road in last month, and the site leveled, we can't get enough dry days to dig the foundation. But thanks for the clevis pin idea. I knew there was gonna be something missing between the cable and the box!

Well, I'm not actually that old yet (I'm 28), but I can't wait to see what my 2 month old son gets to play with when he gets older. (Like … Playstation 15! And the slimmed down ipad. Like the size of an iphone. …Or wait … haha)
I had the the commodore 64. That was great, cassettes and that loading screen wich made people have wild convulsions on the floor... haha. And my parents never understood a thing, they didn't get the commodore, they didn't understand our first pc, and they didn't get cell phones. Or at least, my mom didn't. I remember mom was answering dads cell in the car once, she held it up like walkie talkie and yelled "hello? HELLO? It just keeps ringing... HEEEELLO!" I STILL tease her about that... :P
So, now I'm a dad, can't wait 'til my grandson/granddaughter looks at me with that look in their eyes, feeling a little embarrased about their grumpy old grandfather can't understanding this or that gadget, that it's so ridiculously easy and I tell them that when I was young, we had the ipad and iphones and WE WHERE HAPPY with that. LOL

I went out on a limb two months ago & bought a new coffee perculator, a friend gave me his direct drive turntable, replacing the tired (tyred) old belt drive. Other than that, I prefer to stick with tried & true technology and try to avoid getting caught up in passing fads of the day. The Nehru shirt being a prime example.

I'm 28 and I refuse to own a cellphone, ipod, ipad, or basic cable, so theres some hope for some of us in the future. Of course I have a computer job and pay my bills online...haha...Somethings are important and some are trivial to me. Like needing to stick an ipod in your ear because youre walking from the bedroom to the bathroom in the morning all while texting 5 friends about last nights episode of whatever...bleh

I know what you mean. I've bought a new smart phone - a Backflip. Somewhat like an iphone but using the android OS. Well, it's great but it makes me feel older than my 63 years. Just don't give in!

What's Kool-aid? I always think it's some new fangled drink with bubbles in? 
FYI, a true luddite would use anything as modern as mail, or bomb

As for computers, I like the ones that are hooked up to machines that make cool stuff. I have an Ipod, somewhere, a gps, but I don't like digital people telling me where to go. So give me a radio, I'll listen to most formats, and a recent map and I'm outa here

In all honesty though I think its more of a resistance to my generation. Theres nothing wrong with a little music here or there, but this addiction to mobile entertainment is sickening.
guys are texting at urinal stalls as I type this
girls are googling song titles while doing 45mph in the left lane
everyones twitting and tweeting everything about nothing
of course I'm the crazy one..haha
Everytime I see some 20 year old kid with a bluetooth diddy in his ear I just wanna slap it off his head and say "ARE YOU GONNA GET THAT?"

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

There is no hope for me. I still shave with a brush and a small marble dish with shaving soap. I add hot water into the sink, dip the brush end into the hot water and make some hot sudsy lather and smoosh it all the face. Keep on with this for about 2 minutes and the beard gets soft and easy to shave.
Then out comes the cutthroat razor...a few strops on the leather on one side and then the other and we are ready to go. The deed itself only takes about minute but the preparation takes 4 minutes. I end up with a great close shave and my skin is as soft as a baby's posterior. I usually buy one new shaving soap a year at about $1.89 plus tax. No new blades, same brush and dish for 35 years. Did I mention I am thrifty.
The toothbrush is a manual number. No batteries of any kind. Old Spice aftershave works for me. No hair spray. Hair as short as mine needs nothing to keep it in place. It goes where it wants to and I do not fight nature.
My truck is 25 years old and has a rebuilt motor in it. The previous owner blew it up and replaced it about 8K miles ago. The parts for a Ford F-150 are available around the world and it can be fixed by most people. Very few computer parts etc.
I prefer revolvers over semi-auto pistols and most of my rifles are bolt action or lever. The only semi-auto I have has proved it's worth from Guadacanal to Okinawa and Europe...it is a M-1 Garand...made in 1954 in America by Americans who spoke english as their only language in Mass.

Hey Tom, the way you presented you thoughts on the matter made me kind of think of how that might fit into a song... And so, in a rapped out sort of way I kinda heard this when I read your post.
"Guys are texting at urinal stalls at the end of hallowed halls
as I sing this
Girls are googling song titles while doing 45 miles
per hour, it's relentless
Everyone's twitting and tweeting everything about nothing
Everyone's twittering and tweetering something 'bout everything
Everyone's wired to the wireless and tired of the tireless
Everyone's powered to be powerless, the rest of it is meaningless
And I'm the crazy one..haha

I just wanna slap it off his head and say "DO YOU EVEN KNOW I'M HERE?"

Then after you make a video, post it on youtube, share it with all your friends on myspace and face book, text the link to everyone in your address book so they can watch it on their phones whereever they are. You'll be a star!

Thats a pretty good set of lines right there Keith. I actually wrote it in a song about 4 years ago that I never finished...
i am a number in a line
a cell phone with me all the time
i wear a headset in the car
so i can talk and fuking drive
a monthly payment follows me
communication with a fee
i am a number in a line
another fuker in the line
to hel
i am a number in a line
pod in the pocket and im fine
i need endless entertainment
so i dont have to use my mind
white wires reach into my brain
soundtrack for me to urinate
i am a number in a line
another fuker in the line
to hel

I actually communicate with satellites (remember sputnik? just like that except newer and bigger) when I ride. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0AGVOWvMlegE6gNzAeEXcrFPoInaV8TL3I'm a regular spaceman. I'm from the future. Do not be afraid.

you're not supposed to hook it up to a tv that still has dials! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
