Aww, Mr. Chips :) I see wisdom and humour in your grandfather's face. Just think how much knowledge we would possess if only the wisdom from all generations transferred down to the offspring. It seems as though we lose knowledge of the old ways, even while gaining new knowledge of our modern technical existence. I am fond of the old ways, though this laptop is much more handy in communicating with people the world over lol.
I'm not totally against new technology but feel that discarding the old ways, how to do things for ourselves and not be as reliant on others for instance, isn't the best way forward. I don't think people are necessarily progressing as well as they think: heavy reliance on AI, on pre-prepared foods and items, the easy way to do things, automation and so on. People have forgotten so much and they call that progress. I prefer the old ways.
I could not agree more.
