I just think its sad that some people dont know how to send letters but can send emails And they pay their bills online -One friend of mine had NO idea you could pay them in person at the Utilites office !!!
And I even have friends that have know Idea how to use a Card-catalog at a library -cause they are accustomed to a computer and using search engines - one friend of mine said they never knew of 411 to call for information - This is Nuts !!! LOL !!!
Keep in mind all of my friends are 17 to 20 and live at home except for me - they are learning stuff from me though -cause I'm teaching them things they never heard of!! LOL
Oh yeah & there is a whole generation of men that cant tell the difference between real BOOBS & Implants -but thats a whole other subject _LMAO !!!

Well, my parents used a slide rule in school, and my children use a graphing calculator. I used a calculator, but they were a bit expensive.
I wish Word was available when I was in college. It was a nightmare editing papers. Oh yeah, Whiteout wasn't invented yet. Nowadays, you can move entire sections of a paper around without re-typing!
A lot of older people don't know how to turn on a computer or use the Internet. It's a shame, because there is a wealth of information on the WWW.

Society is evolving. Computers are a part of everything now so to grow up in such a society why would you do something when you have never needed to (for instance learning how to use a card catalog).
Most young people today have rarely if ever heard of the dewey decimal sytem. Why do the work if a computer will do it for you? Hmm.......

That's just nuts, but not the least bit strange. My fourth grade class learned all about writing letters and card catalogs, the "old-fashioned" way to do stuff. My sister's fourth grade class learned to make their own webpage! As new ways of doing things come about, old stuff is being phased out and forgotten. That's insane! Even my grandma sent me an E-card for my birthday this year! LoL

Who cares? No-one uses snail mail anymore, I've never even seen a library with a card catalogue, why would people go to all that bother when computers have made things easier?
I also hope you appreciate the irony of saying "lol" while talking about the good old days.
