There's a reason that your grandparents can't use today's technology. It has made major advances. Even as recently as 30 years ago, computers were fat, white squares with wired keyboards that displayed text in one color and one color only. Today, with our sleek black laptops that can connect to wireless internet in the blink of an eye (sometimes), we cannot imagine having to use one of the "old" computers. What we call old, however, was the best of the best three decades ago. In our age, even three year olds can use computers, but, back then, only technology wizards could use them. It is scary to think what would happen to us, so used to modern technology, if we had to live when there was almost no readily available technology at all. What would we do? We should all be very, very thankful that technology has come as far as it has. But who knows? Maybe in another 30 years, today's newest model laptop will be seen as ancient.
