when you having coffee and bread for supper, no new messages in your phone and countable twitter followers, then you are yet to leave the "typewriter generation".
so what is the typewriter generation?
Umhh well do you have a friend who has these qualities
- Dresses to hide their nakedness.....
- Rarely lies about time........
- Still holds on to his dear kabambe phone and has a black safaricom line....
- Still call clubs discos and are not apologetic...
- They are good natured and gentlemen or ladies (please assume the fashion factor)...
Well most old folks fall under this and they really make me admire them. Looking at myself 5 minutes ago telling someone am in Eldoret while at the comfort of my Nairobi residence. moving on i schedule meetings on Gmail, dates on facebook and Follow people on twitter (not on foot). Of course i attend the facebook one while making excuses for the gmail one and i assume i never followed the chic am looking at (ego perhaps).
Typewriters were the whatsapp in those days , and emoticons were made with real lipstick and lips on paper (some didnt look human). What is so striking about the typewriter generation is how they conducted themselves, their respect for the other sex (am a dude) and how honest they were. Parks were the place to go, KFC was still deciding dodo or chicken and the bell bottom was a trouser that made ladies ring.
Compare that to skinny jeans (zombies are offended), Supras (making safari boots look like dinosaurs), and pathological liars (Siri joining the leauge soon), "gimme 5 minutes"...."just friends" (FRIENDZONED!!)..and much more.
I honestly think that if we can have the best of both worlds (my kabambe is now my ex) we could enjoy being gentlemen (typewriting not blogging) and still be exceptionally modern (go for all meetings)...where do you fall?
