But if you take away my cell phone,I wont be able to call my friends!
There are things called"Public phones."
There are?
Yes.They're coin-operated.
Oh.You mean like bitcoin?
You were right.You won't be able to call you friends.
We have a āpay phoneā at the historical museum where I volunteer. Most children under 12 do not know what it is. Nor have they seen one before coming to the museum.
If thatās the case, how come my grandkids know how to use the internet, cable TV, the DVR, and smartphones better than most grownups? Inept be as inept do.
Haha, I like that being able to use āoldā technology is how people measure whether future generations are āinept.ā Future generations will simply learn how to use new technology. And yes, if that technology breaks down or is taken away, then weāll be āineptā at the old technology, but not completely inept.
Also, I love the common reference to bitcoin. I hope everyone who reads this comic goes and learns about new technology bitcoin which will revolutionize the banking industry!
Buy some bitcoins now, because in a few years, youāll be happy you did!
