S1 : EP6 In this no-holds-barred episode, we’re diving into the digital divide between generations—how tech-savvy young folks have the advantage, while older generations often feel left in the dust or flat-out refuse to adapt.

Art Vile vents about the death of handwriting and the fact that young people will never know the emotional punch of opening a handwritten letter, or pouring your heart out in the P.S. to a middle school crush. Remember paper fortune tellers? That was the OG “magic 8-ball” for broke kids. The younger generation will never get that joy.

And what about the good ol' days of being *anonymous*? Before cell phones were glued to our hands, you didn’t know if someone was ignoring you or just had bad timing with their landline call. No receipts. No drama. Now, if you leave someone unread or don’t answer the phone, it’s World War III.

We also talk about the downside of tech addiction—like how self-driving cars could make us forget how to drive altogether (just like we’ve forgotten how to write by hand). Efficiency is great, but when the grid goes down, *what happens then*? Will we just turn into brain-dead zombies?

And for all the older folks who say tech is too overwhelming or just flat-out refuse to learn? We get it. But let’s be real—if you can run a household and take a cross-country flight, you can figure out the self-checkout at Walmart.

This episode is equal parts rant and reality check. Tune in for a fiery conversation about where we're headed with this tech craze and whether we’re losing something along the way.
