Sad thing is that old next door neighbour of yours has been through world wars and the most of the major technological advances in history.
That’s a very good point Mad Jock. A lot of old folk do tend to live in the past and find technological advances baffling. Some mature gracefully and mellow in their old age, encouraging, advising, nurturing and imparting their wisdom to the younger generation. They either embrace modern technology or simply ignore it. Others, however, become cantankerous and bitter with their advancing years. They seem to perceive the younger generation as a threat to their very existence, and blame them for all the trials and tribulations of their lives. They refuse to accept that the world has moved on and nothing will ever be what it was in the good old days.
And yes you are an immature idiot just like we were when we were your age. Nothing that time and experience doesn't cure though.
Idiocy used to be a recognised medical condition, and even featured as a category on the late 18th and early 19th century censuses, along with lunacy, imbecility, and feeble-mindedness. Unfortunately, unlike immaturity, it is a mental deficiency which is
not cured by age. These days, of course, the term serves no other purpose than to cause offence.
