I got lost in Houston and had a few amazing experiences

[slightlv]

35. The last time I walked into a taco bell,

I just stood by the "counters" (where the cash register is) and asked does anyone take an order anymore, along with my money? Or is it all by machine? Talk about feeling like I'd walked into a Twilight Zone episode!

I know it's a basic truism that by the time you get to be 70 and beyond, the world has moved on so far without you, there's barely any keeping up... let alone catching up. I spent over 30 years of my life integrated deeply into IT...it's how I made my living, my hobby, my life... but I'm so lost with so much of it now I feel like a Luddite sometimes. I've clicked off services in apps before because they're so hard to understand. And some web pages are getting to be just as bad. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too dumb for all this "smart" stuff, or too smart to dumb myself down enough!
