Disconcerting is indeed the word... Seems ghastly to us, but probably necessarily informative to the kiddywinks... (by that I mean anyone under 23)...

It's so obvious to those of us that lived through it but kids really are incredibly hazy on when technology happened. They think email was invented in the 1700s and that I remember the first telephone call.

Our kids can't even remember dial up internet. Snail mail is sadly ancient history. 🐌👋

French teachers had to read in class a letter by a young resistant... Note from a standupper to the pupils "a letter is a sort of long SMS written on a piece of paper" :-)
