In 1986 I introduced my grandfather to the compact disc; as I inserted the disk into the tray and push the load button he asked me how do you change the needle.

After a 10 minute explanation of how the laser read the numeric indentations in the interwoven metallic threads to produce sound; he looked at me like I had lost my mind or been captured by aliens.
This thought entered my mind as I passed my daughters room. I witnessed her in the throes of an economics homework assignment which she was watching on her iPhone on YouTube.
It was then that I realize that I too was standing in the doorway of her room with the same alien abduction face my grandfather held many years ago.
I officially feel old now😝🤣🤣
