They call us "the Elderly

So, let's set the record straight. The following is adapted from a post sent to me by my cousin and originally post by Bob Stuart

We were born during the epic decades of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. We saw it all, from the rise of rock 'n' roll to the space race capturing our imaginations.

Our childhood was a glorious era of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We played outside until the streetlights flickered on, rode bikes without helmets, and had the time of our lives.

The 60s, 70s, and 80s were our school days. We navigated the era of bell-bottoms, frizzy hair, and questionable fashion choices. Our report cards were filled with handwritten grades, not the automated online portals of today.

Ah, the romantic escapades of the 70s, 80s, and 90s! We experienced the highs and lows of love, serenaded by the sweet tunes of the Beatles, Whitney Houston, and many others. Our hearts fluttered to the rhythm of the times.

We took the plunge into marriage and embarked on incredible adventures in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Armed with our cameras and maps, we discovered the world, capturing memories on film that we now share on Instagram.

The 80s and 90s brought us into the age of stability. We found our footing, settling into careers, raising families, and embracing the technological advancements that were unfolding before our eyes.

As the 2000s arrived, we realized we had become wiser. We witnessed the birth of social media, the rise of smartphones, and the power of the internet. We adapted and learned to navigate this new digital world.

In the 2010s, we truly embraced the wonders of technology. From the evolution of telephones to video calls connecting us with loved ones worldwide, we marveled at the progress we had witnessed.

Throughout our lives, we witnessed the incredible transformation of entertainment. We bid farewell to slide projectors and welcomed the era of YouTube. Vinyl records gave way to online music streaming. Handwritten letters were replaced by emails and WhatsApp.

From listening to live matches on the radio to watching high-definition TV, we have seen it all. We even went from renting movies at the video store to indulging in the convenience of streaming platforms like Netflix.

We were there when the first computers emerged, navigating the world of punch cards and diskettes. Now, we hold gigabytes and megabytes in the palm of our hands with smartphones and tablets.

Our fashion sense evolved from shorts in childhood to a myriad of styles in adulthood, including long pants, oxfords, and Bermuda shorts. We've witnessed trends come and go, leaving us with memories and fashion faux pas to laugh about.

We have faced challenges throughout our lives, from dodging diseases like infantile paralysis, polio, measles, and H1N1 flu to enduring the current COVID-19 pandemic. But we have always persevered, adapting to whatever life throws at us.

They may call us the "exennials," a generation born analog but adapted to the digital world. We're the "Yaseen-It-All" kind, having witnessed more than any other generation in every aspect of life.

Let's give a well-deserved round of applause to all the members of our extraordinary generation, who have embraced change, adapted, and thrived. We are a unique and remarkable group of individuals.

But remember, time waits for no one. Life is a task we've brought upon ourselves. It moves swiftly, and before we know it, the afternoon becomes evening, the week becomes Friday, and the years pass by. Let's make the most of every precious moment.

Don't let lack of time hold you!
