For some of us!
```. *"THE ELDERLY"*
We were born in the 40-50-60.s
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80s
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90s
We stabilize in the 2000s.
"We got wiser in the 2010s.
And we are going firmly through 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world, we have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HD TV.
We went to the Video Club and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punched cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or IPad.
We wear shorts throughout our childhood and then long pants, oxfords, Bermuda shorts, etc.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, invented cars, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as “exennials”; people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We're kind of Yah seen-it-all.
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation!
