I wasn't tethered to home, but 173 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: I definitely was still part of the generation where they 174 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: definitely kept tabs on you. I think it'd be kind 175 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: of funny if I were too, though, say to a 176 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: gen Z kid that they had to get out a 177 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: Thomas Guide and you know the map that I described 178 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: a second ago. I think that they would be very 179 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: confused by that. It would seem like I was sending 180 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: them on like a treasure hunt or something. And I 181 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: do also remember having to memorize phone numbers. Speaking of phones, 182 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: you'd have to memorize phone numbers. And then I mean, 183 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: how many great movies or stories were born of like 184 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: losing someone's phone number or writing it down on a 185 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: piece of paper, or not memorizing it correctly. 186 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: Love Lost. 187 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Think about all the things that could have been, and 188 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: then I think about now the things that were doing. 189 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I think it's often times I'm like, how will this 190 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: be made easier in the future, right, like how will driving? 191 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: I mean, how could it be any easier? I mean, 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: they already have self driving vehicles, so I mean, and 193 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: I also do think about that cartoon the jetsons because 194 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: they used to fly. And that's the only thing that 195 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I can imagine being any different about the way we 196 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: get around is that we have subways from trains, we 197 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: have underground, we have them on the ground. We have cars, 198 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: we drive them, we are driven. We have the auto 199 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: the self drivers. 200 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: So really the. 201 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Only place that is left to explore is the air. 202 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: So maybe we'll have jets and mobiles. 203 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: I wonder about dating like I never I can't imagine 205 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: having dated in a dating app world, the gamification of 206 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: romance and love. But that being said, I feel like 207 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: so many relationships now are born of texting each other 208 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: or writing back and forth, and then that kind of 209 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: harkens back to the good old days when you'd send 210 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: a letter by pigeon, right. 211 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm making that up, but maybe I 212 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: don't know. 213 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: So maybe we all just experience life, and some things 214 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: are like on boomerangs, where you throw it out and 215 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: it goes as far as it can go and then 216 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: it comes back again.
