I was with my family this weekend in a mountain town in the Colorado Rockies. We were walking through an antique store full of stuff that the kids actually found interesting. I noticed my son had stopped and was staring at something on the wall. As I walked over to him, he asked “How did this work?” and pointed to… a rotary-dial phone.

We showed the kids how we used to stick out finger in the dial and spin each number. It occurred to me that my kids had never seen a phone with a cord, let alone a rotary dial. Newer phones today don’t even have buttons – they’re touch screen.

Kids adapt effortlessly to new technology, while most adults resist. When it comes to reaching your marketplace, are you a rotary dialer or a touch screen dialer?

With age comes wisdom, but mostly it just comes with more age. Every once in a while something pops up that tells me I’m getting old.

How about you? What things have happened to you lately that make you realize your years?
