tamagotchis where a cool gadget as a child.. BUT the beep sound was annoying asf. too the fact that the little f*cker often started beeping at night when you needed sleep because you had school.. urks. and when you disabled the sound and didn't look for 5 minutes for him.. "whoops I'm dead" -_-* still liked tamagotchis tho.
i'm gen Z and i collected almost 800 pokemon cards and watched vhs movies and had the pens with the different colored ink and didn't get a smartphone when i was super young and that made the weird "S" and had a walkman. that stuff isn't just for 90's kids
I'm in the generation that worked for 25 years at a company that promised a pension, then went bankrupt and discharged that obligation through a court order, and exited bankruptcy as a perfectly healthy company (once they didn't have to pay benefits and others debts owed).
Rather than point out that it's certainly possible for any of you to learn the new technologies and profit from that, I'll just mention something else. There's a lot of life that's driven by right place/right time. If you happen to retire at the beginning of the stock market Boom, you probably got 30 years in and ended with more money than you started with despite not having to cut back on expenses. Other people died a few years before some drug or technology was developed that would have allowed them to live a long and satisfying life. There's a certain amount of randomness, and I guess I shouldn't bitch that you've noticed one aspect of yours.
