So as a millenial / Gen z I cannot relate to this at all Whatsoever 🤣

@Perry1968 You are Gen X, but I am not sure Britishers had the same experiences as us Americans during our youth in the 70's and 80's.

@NativePortlander1970 Ah right. My childhood was bikes. Dens. Catapults. Climbing etc etc etc. So im a Gen X lol. It doesnt mean alot to me tbh. For me age isnt wisdom but rather experience and each generation before and after mine/ours has different experiences going with the times.

@Perry1968 Exactly

@Perry1968 you never did this? 😭

(Tried to escape the mental hospital that is)

@NativePortlander1970 anyone who can relate. The person whom I got this meme from I’m pretty sure is from rural Pakistan or Bangladesh

@Perry1968 it was weird for me growing up because I experienced the change where phones took over and became an integral part of our lives.

I still remember what life was like before smartphones

Everything was slower then. I don’t know how to explain it now. Everything is faster now. Things are directed towards audiences with short attention span

Life is different that’s all.

My kids don’t know any difference. They’re both Gen alpha. All they know is smart phones, computers, digitization

🤦‍♀
It makes you wonder what’s next

@DeluxedEdition No but my mum did when i was about 6 😆😆 She didnt succeed and the ole electric Zapper treatment got her again involuntary.

@DeluxedEdition Id guess thats normal to a point. Like when i grew up. Your childhood experiences. The things you were taught in school etc was glaxies away from mine. As i left school in 1984 computers were due to come into schools. That next whole generation would have been different. I watched a guy and it was interesting as he was ex KGB and clearly a clever guy and he reckons it takes around 30 years to sway that generational gap into thought processes and beliefs that change the world around us as most of us divide with the massive opinion differences and beliefs. He was saying thats deliberate. To keep us numbed down as each generation are fed new levels of education and tolerace. This is why ageism exists because we really are schooled to hate our fellow man/woman because of their beliefs and most of what you know and have been taught will be alien to kids in 30 yesrs or so. Its a extremely clever way for yet another divisive tool to pull us all away from one another in respect to our beliefs. My guys my age bleat on about "yeah back in my day" thinking what they learned was correct. I just think shut up. Lol. 30 years prior to my life my mothers values education and beliefs differed from mine. Its just very cleverly adjusted every 3 or 4 decades and you can then teach those generations what you like. And like we did they will lap it up like a cat drinking milk fully believing what theyve been taught is right and your generation wrong. Its a continuing and very smart divisive pattern. The term divide to conquer has many tenticles. Most of us just dont see it so it just rolls on and on. Its crazy hey lol. But look this is why i know fully that age isnt wisdom. Its only experience. We are all fooled into a false belief system and that changes every few decades. So prepare for your kids lol.
