The world keeps evolving, whether or not we choose to keep up and change with it. Intellectually, we all get that, but it doesn't mean we're paying attention to the implications of standing on the sidelines.
When we're young, it seems quaint to note how difficult it is for our parents and their friends to adjust to the latest technology and the faster pace. When we're older, it begins to feel a little overwhelming that we have the added responsibilities of keeping an eye on teenagers, our career, and our retirement account, and relearn how to use a phone.
