There was a time in which computers, the internet, smartphones and social media were unfathomable concepts to the average person, but it just took time. We'll get there with AI, sooner or later.

I'm 31 and the first smartphone came out when I was 17, already finishing high school. Until then I hadn't even imagined the concept of a smartphone.

60 yo people are from the time of black and white TV. Your time perception is all off lol

I'm about the same age. I still remember my friend telling me about the iPhone at school.

"Apple's making a phone with no buttons, it's just one big screen."

Me: "Pff, that'll never catch on."

While texting with the numpad on my flip phone... 😂
