@itsmatthewj LOL! I just heard the entire modem exchange in my brain. It's etched THAT deeply. There's a generation out there with no clue!

@mholzschlag Yup, mine too! I know - I got kids - no: printing photos, going to library to find stuff out, video/music cassettes,

@itsmatthewj Do you sometimes make them just because you can? I know I would! "Put down that phone and pick up a book" would be my mantra.

@mholzschlag 2/2 17yo Daughter CBA even looking for stuff (even when she's on her phone!) so no chance of her going to library!!

@itsmatthewj Kids, huh? (I don't have them at home, but I raise a lot of them after they're adults, ha.ha.ha.)

@mholzschlag Exactly! I've got a 17yo, 5yo and my youngest is 17 weeks old!

@itsmatthewj How are you remotely sane and functioning? Please, explain that? I'd be in a corner twitching and drooling.
