I assume the majority age group here is 35-55, give or take, so please chime in some stuff or phrases I can entertain (educate) my younger relatives with. These kids are bright, but nerdy, geeky type that don't understand or believe some of the stuff us elder folks speak of and grew up with since we were high tech in our era! Such as:
-Does anyone remember how to program the preset channels on a am/fm radio in a 72 model car?
-Manual transmission (stick shift). Dead battery, get a couple of folks to push you off and "pop the clutch"!!! Good to go. None of these youngters know how to drive a stick shift. I have not in years but know I could, much less I know 3 on the column.
-Enhance the reception by using tin foil or a wire coat hanger on the rabbit ears. YOU did what to your rabbits ears??????
-How to charge (energize) your wrist watch that does not have a battery or a "port" to plug it in.
I have a 18yo cousin that is a total nerdy geek.....he does admit this. One night I passed him in his hood. His didn't have his headlights on. I called him on his cell and sadly he didn't realise they were not on, much less he DIDN'T know how to turn them ON!!! His car had an inspection that day and the headlights dial was put into the off mode, not the auto mode.
