You're at the dentist with your teen and in the waiting room there is a tv playing music videos from the 80s and your kids asks," why do the videos look so bad and cheap?" My response was " that's what was considered cutting edge back when I was young"
Only then did I realize that what I said dated me more than what my son said. Doh!!!! -

Saw this on FB and it reminded me of my high school typing class with many of my friends.
At my high school, many of the boys took typing. I am so glad I was one of them. A skill that I have used throughout my life and just now typing this statement."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

When you get yourself one of these…. And when you have a pill that says “take with food”, but you realize that the number of pills you take qualifies as a meal…

My mother had 3 of those for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each one of those bins was as full as you could get.
It seemed like for every pill she took she took another pill to counter act the negative affects of the other pill. -

I've been using those so long, the lettering is worn off and I can barely read the day if I angle it to the light. Mine are round, so there is no counting days from the left. -

Years ago, I preferred them, because they stayed closed in a Ziploc sandwich bag easier when I was traveling. Of course, that was before the lettering wore off. Most would have replaced them by now, but I've been accused of being cheap. I prefer frugal.

Good grief, if you're befuddled, I'm befuddy-duddyuddled. I get all my many morning pills ready the night before and put them in one of those plastic medicine measuring cup dodads like they did when I was in hospital the one time - it adds a cerain authenticity to the whole experience. -

I took typing class in high school for a joke. The class was right after lunch, freshly stoned.....turned out I accidentally learned how to type.

I took typing in high school during the mid 80s because everything was going to be based on computers they said! Mostly panned out and it has helped in my career. Now, everyone is moving to voice dictation and touch screen interfaces. Will Gen Alpha or the next generation use a keyboard when they grow up? Not if you believe the scifi writers.

Typing class was required. I believe it was 1972. I never for one moment
thought I'd ever use it. My sons learned to type on a computer keyboard at
a young age. It's scary how fast they can type.
My wife knows shorthand. Remember that? I don't think anyone uses
that any more. Who knows what skills will be useful or worthless in years
to come."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -
I also took 2 years of typing in high school 71 and 72. Never used the skill again till the mid 90's when I brought my first Gateway puter home. To my amazement it all came right back after a 25 year hiatus and I could still do "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" without looking at the keys. Nowadays rarely a day goes by where I'm not using that very useful skill.

That's the same reason I took swimming class as horney Freshman. (Swimming was required if you couldn't pass a test. So all the Junior and Senior girls who couldn't pass, were in that class.) 😉
