Picture your favorite watering hole or bistro, performing a
renovation and installing an eight track tape player while publishing an
invitation for customers to bring in their musical artifacts for public
play. I would add the rear end
(including back seat) of a vintage convertible (maybe more the one) to sit in
whilst reminiscing and exaggerating with tales of goings on fifty years
ago. Automatic smile.
This is more than syrupy nostalgia. The twittermania social media universe is a
serious challenge to us older folks. The
first part of the challenge is why? The level of self-absorption and/or feeling
of isolation that drives the younger generations to need to tweet all the time
is beyond me and most of my compatriots.
Not that we don’t like technology, but Pandora and email is just fine,
and don’t require fixing old eyes on small screens. Eight track tapes, on the other hand, bring
back a simpler era. Smile.
