    Default Blast from the past

    A new 20 something hire was wearing and style smart watch today or I just noticed it today.

    An old school Casio calculator watch. I haven't seen one of those in person for 20+ years. I asked her about it and she has been using it for about 10 years.

    So again old tech is new again for gen z? Record players, vinyl, knitting, mechanical clocks, ect. All tech Gen X left in the past for better tech.

    I had a version of one of those. I didn't wear it so much as keep it in a pocket note pad. The calculator came in handy for calculating square roots and multiplying by pi. I hope she uses it for more than figuring tips.

    I remember those but never used one myself. I?ve always used the g shock series. Seems like since cell phones became popular watches went out. Now with smart watches and fit bits they been making a come back.

    You didn't go for BOOBLESS? That's a right of passage.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    I still have a Bradley Mickey Mouse watch I got when I was 4. I'm now 52. It doesn't quite fit now though.
