geezer
There’s a mediocre article entitled You really know you’re a techno-geezer when…. Mitchell’s main thesis is:
A generation that has never known a world without cell phones, text messaging and IM have built a culture around the technology that is foreign to me.
At the ripe old age of 26, I’m right on the cusp. I do appreciate have gobs of minutes on my cell plan, but I’m not a heavy user of text messages, nor do I take advantage of my IM client to announce where I am at all times. I prefer the geezer method of closing the application when I’m not at the computer, mostly because I can’t be bothered to update the status when I get up and walk away.
Also, $0.99 for a ring tone is a ripoff.
(sorry for the crappy blog entry; the real geezers will understand my reason: GIGO)
