Does this make me a FAILURE ?

Well, I can remember when a notebook was a book with blank sheets of paper in it that you wrote in. A pad was a lot of small sheets of blank paper glued together at one end, and later on, also became a place to live. And a smart phone was one that had a dial on it so that you didn't have to tell an operator to get your party for you. Oh, a book was, and still is, a bunch of papers with words printed on them that are bound together, and a reader was someone that took a book and read it out loud, usually to a group of children. Then there was the kindle, which was something you put down to start a fire. Putting an "i" or an "e" in front of any of these words would have been a typo that you needed an eraser to correct on a typewriter that did not have a "delete" key. When you wanted multiple copies of something you were typing, you would add sheets of carbon paper between sheets rather than selecting a number on your print window. Yeah, that's right, a window was always something made of glass that you looked through, not an operating system, and an operating system was a procedure used by a doctor in a hospital.

We can go on and on, but it's strange how our use of words have changed with technology. Then you wonder why the older generation doesn't communicate well with those that grew up with all this new stuff.
