Several years ago, I read an article that predicted that the illiteracy of the future wouldn't be those who literally could not read. Instead, those who are unable to quickly and instinctually grasp new technology and adapt to changing environments would be considered to be "illiterate".

I've been avoiding buying a new phone since forever. I'm still working with and iPhone3, and I think I have pride that I make it work. I'm seriously starting to think I should adopt new tech as soon as possible regardless of the cost to keep myself young.

I'm 31, I've never had a phone this long. It feels weird and like I'm way behind because my old 60 pops shows up with the new ios and I don't know why his looks different.

Buy the new tech, stay young. It's good marketing, and probably good practice for those of us oldies.

Don't feel too bad about not being able to keep up with technological advancements. Not many can grasp the minutiae of most inventions now.

Humanity has entered a phase of evolution wherein we are essentially a hive. We have our individual contributions but it's a hive mentality that is steering our progress.

This is especially true regarding technology. We can keep up with what the new technology does but how it does it is beyond the comprehension of the vast majority of us.
