Voting

When your state doesn't have early voting- election day lines can be long.  When your voting place happens to be located on the 2nd floor (out of 12 floors) of a geriatrics home.....lines are long and sssssslllllllllloooooooowwwww.

No disrespect to our elders but come on.....they were getting pushed to the front of the line.  How about set up a line/booth/mobile booth/etc. just for them?

The Woman overheard one age gifted lady say (referring to electronic voting), "That was hard!  You really had to fight to get you vote counted!"  That made me think about when these older people were in the position I am in now.  For example, when they were my age it would have been about 1960 or so.  Let's call them generation 60, or G60 for short.  Then you have people that were 80 in 1960.  Let's call them generation 1880, or G1880.  What technologies were hot in 1960 that G1880 would have been dazed and confused by?  What was cool for the G60's?

Etch-A-Sketch baby (and space travel which is pretty cool I'm told).
