Life has changed for some of us, but the bigger issue seems to be social media. People log into FB to talk with their friends. There you don't have to worry about anyone reading their comments and then having some stranger rip you because you use CAPS, didn't use punctuation, or some "TROLL" calling you a moron because you didn't think before you asked something. It happens to all of us, but new guys don't stay around after the Keyboard Mafia hammers them down.
I feel we are like the GPS... Technology has changed the rules and most change with it. They have just moved to the latest thing.
However, us OldGuys are still here....
