Grandfather doesn’t prefer new-age technology.
What does that mean? It means anything that was made after the 1990s is warm garbage to him.
Well, that’s what he says at least. It’s always along the lines of, “Things are not made the same when I was younger.” I get it, he drove in beautiful cars that were like metal cans and now we drive cars that close up resemble a water bottle. The thing is, Grandfather doesn’t have all the safety features my great friend and I have these afternoons. These newer cars are made to save the person, not the vehicle. The outdated ones were strong, however your safety wasn’t as good. When he comes to my home he likes some of the new things, but he can’t find himself investing money into them for himself. He always compliments my temperature control settings and I told him it’s a smart temperature control and it takes care of my indoor comfort needs all the time. He went from smiling and enjoying his time to saying, “I know technology is taking over your life.” My Grandfather doesn’t get it, everything is advancing, and my heating and cooling system is a giant part of it. A giant part of my home comfort is my heating and cooling system. I work from home so I don’t get out much unless it’s to see friends or grocery shop. I have everything I need here, so my Grandfather can be frustrated if he wants to be. I know it makes him think that I’m lazy and my work ethic isn’t as good as his, however technology is the future and I’m here for the long ride.
