I was born when cars had fins, gasoline was 20 cents a gallon and the milkman filled your suburban front porch box with dairy products on a regular basis. When I make a presentation and tell the audience that I started in the electronic security industry 42 years ago, I fully realize that many of the attendees weren’t yet born in 1977.
That said, there are some things in today’s modern world that I just don’t understand. For one, I don’t get the idea of cryptocurrency; while I understand that most of our money is now digitized as numbers on our bank or broker accounts, which represent the value, the idea of wholly digital finances is confusing for me. I have read all kinds of articles about Bitcoin and other cryptomonies, but I don’t understand how these currencies work. And frankly, I don’t care, as I believe in the deposited U.S. dollar for my money needs.
