One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about inventions.The grandson asked his grandfather about the computer age and other inventions.
The grandpa replied,“Well, let me think for a minute…I was born before television, penicillin, frozen foods, Xerox machines, contact lenses and Frisbees.There was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens.
Man had not invented air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man hadn't yet walked on the moon.
Time-sharing meant a time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.We had never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, or guys wearing earrings.”
If you saw anything with ‘Made in Japan'-or any other countries on it, it was junk.The term ‘making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
In my day, ‘coke' was a general cold drink(not the name of Coca Cola); ‘pot' was something your mother cooked in(not a drug), and ‘rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby(摇篮曲)(not a kind of popular music).‘Aids' were helpers in the high official's office(not a deadly disease);‘chip' meant a piece of wood(not a part of a computer);‘hardware' was found in a hardware(五金器具)store, and ‘software' wasn't even a word.And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us old and think we are confused and say there is a generation gap, and how old do you think I am?
This man would be only 59 years old.
