It once came up whether my grandmother went to music festivals in her youth. Of course not, she said, they hadn't been invented yet! They didn't have electronic music, because they didn't have electronics. And nobody was playing guitar on stage for 12 hours. You could hold a short small concert in a hall, but you couldn't hold a big rave.

My mom was around when different races couldn’t use the same water fountain and women couldn’t have bank accounts.

I used to turn a wheel a bunch of times to call a friend.

Her grandkids have never known a world without fortnite on ipads and real life dick tracy watches.

It’s a weird world. Makes you wonder how things will look in thirty years.
