They call us baby boomers, but what we really are is the ‘Tweener generation. My parents never used a computer or the internet for anything their entire lives. My children and grandchildren use computers and the internet for everything, and their lives are deeply connected to it. I am the transition link. I know just enough to be able to turn on a PC and surf the internet. I can send an email or a text message. I can buy a pair of pants online and order food from an app.
Oh, and I can post these blogs. That’s about it. Beyond that, I have a deep distrust of the cyber world. I don’t like banking or paying bills electronically. I put little credibility in anything I read on social media unless it’s from a friend. Even then, sometimes you don’t know if it truly is your friend, or a scammer disguised as your friend.
I’m a bit worried about our young people. They have sold their privacy to the internet. My daughter says I’m just afraid of what I don’t understand.
She’s right. We all should be.
You’re right on again Ken. I remember when the debit card came out. It was the latest thing in financial transactions. I used it Target. They got hacked. I thought, That was just a fluke so I used it at Home Depot. They got hacked. Good by debit card! Have a great day brother!!
Good advice Jimmy.
Amen,what you do not know can hurt you.
So true
