My kids were absolutely convinced that my wife and I were contemporaries of Fred Flintstone. Actually, we were: the show came out in the early 1960’s we would have been a bit over 10 then.
Nonetheless they believed that I took the 8:15 dinosaur to work and that I actually knew what “yabba-dabba-do” means. It’s Neanderthal for “TGIF.”
I do come from an earlier epoch: one before computers and one where television signals came over the air and phone signals out of a wire in the wall. At least we had electricity and the light bulb.

I guess this kid knew how to start a fire using flint and other stones — the original remote controls.
