Yeah, that's the defense about racist remarks, too, I was just kidding, where's your sense of humor, etc. Ageism is ugly.
Thanks Tybee! I actually laughed. When we got our first VCR at age 30 I couldn’t operate it so got one of my kids to teach me.
I have to admit I frequently turn to my 12 year old for tech support. Especially with phones. I don’t view it as ageist so much as practical. She’s clever, has a lot more free time than me, and conducts a lot of her school and personal business electronically. Thinking back on my collections of comic books, interesting rocks and model rockets at that age, she’s something of a minimalist by comparison. Much more of her clutter is accessed through iPhone, Chromebook and Kindle.
I was thinking how a simple thing like being required to work three shifts......would really screw up his intentional minimalism.
His form of minimalism would not work for everyone. He lives a charmed life, and he is quite aware of it.
