I lived long enough to see that! I am 48. When I was a kid, people had Commodore-64 (I had Commodor Plus 4, sadly. C64 is so much cooler) and we didn’t even have land line.
We have C64 now, multiple ones 
People still use it because it’s cool and make much greater demos, pics and other programs on it than before. There are even online games, kinda 3d… The computing work is done on the server, not on the C64 but still, impressive. I saw some brand new C64 games this year, they probably don’t bring much money but they do bring some.
Erm I got carried away a tiny little bit (I could talk about the topic for quite long) but it may be an interesting info for some! It’s an exciting world.
That’s sad. I started to notice I got too far for technology (and it’s problematic for an ex and hopefully future programmer. I was even a web developer) so I will make sure I will follow things
a bit more in the future. I don’t even know how smartphones and apps for shopping work, not like it’s important but it’s bothersome if I don’t know… Making games for phones, that’s something I know things about but that seems more useful and more tempting… Enjoyable too though there are worse parts in the development…
One totally can learn new things even when old. Like 110. I surely will want to even if I am not so good at that in this point of my life, I got stuck in some weird dark world for a long while. But I will start learning some new programs real soon (drawing program, 3d, maybe animation. but I should rewrite my old C64 drawing program that I wrote in Turbo Pascal 
and used in DOS emulator… and used NASM and my C64 macros to make it into a proper C64 program… As pics are normal programs in C64. I did some crazy things in my more active times but they worked… 
).
That’s an important motivation for my SO and I too! I just fear what poor planet will become with so many so destructive humans on it 
I am waiting for so many things to get better - but some will get worse I am sure. But there is so much room for improvement… And we surely will have very exciting new things. And humankind will learn things. When things are new, people can go overboard, not even knowing consequences (or caring about it) but sometimes some efforts happen to fight against the bad ones. I am curious if they will get stronger with time. And how humans will view the others… If I look back to the last hundeds of years, ouch. I am glad some things got better.
Humans on average are such savage inmature babies at this point, it surely won’t change a whole lot in my life but maybe some? The official view can change much quicker, thankfully, it’s not enough but something…
I love hearing about such persons!!! I wish her a long, mostly healthy (I mean, perfect health is quite rare even for young, pretty healthy persons), active life with much joy and things to do and learn! And your dad too. And you.
Mom was born in 1936, never went beyond having a cellphone (and keeping it turned off almost all the time. we talked once a month when she turned it on and called me. she was even less social than me, at least I have a high verbose level and use the chance when I actually meet a person)… But she never learned to swim or drive, not even cycling… She mostly just worked… I surely got my laziness from my male direct ancestor. Sigh.
She only got a microwave because her sister nagged her - and used it for storage, mostly… Oh my SO and I use it all the time, even for cooking.
Okay, let’s live until 150 - IF we can pull it off healthy enough. Death is preferable over certain super serious physical problems for me (I used to think losing my legs is enough for that but nope. as long I see and I have hands and am mobile anyway so not paralyzed…) and I MUST keep my mind fine enough. My mom’s cousin got serious dementia after a super diligent, active life, one year she hosted many big family dinners and a few years after she didn’t attend her husband’s funeral because she couldn’t even understand what happened, she forgot everything… It’s such a heart wrenching tragedy and I didn’t even meet her in those years. She may still live (I hope not, it’s NOT life), she did when my aunt died a few years ago, I met her son at the funeral). She loved her big family so much… I avoid thinking too deep or else I would cry and I basically never do. When was the last time, in 2023? I don’t remember. Sad movies don’t count but I don’t remember such a case either. I got this from Mom.
My anchestors kept their minds and I am super optimistic when it comes to such things so I don’t fear this fate. But I need a super good lifestyle… I didn’t do it quite right this far.
