With how quickly trends evolve and the world constantly changes, it’s no surprise that as we grow older, we feel as though we’re living in a time that seems almost unrecognizable.
It’s not only the big changes that leave us feeling this way, but also the small shifts that gradually take place over the decades. My grandmother, God rest her soul, often reminisced about the habits and routines of her youth, and she would always show us strange tools and gadgets that no one in the family seemed to know about.
I can only imagine that, if I’m lucky enough to live as long as she did, I might find myself in the same position, passing down curious objects that my own grandchildren won’t recognize.
