Um, talking to old frail people who are like you. They are real people who used to be programmers and photographers and surfers and skaters. Chat to them and they often show you their old photos. I assume that because they were like me at 30 then I will be like them at 70.

When you're typing, you don't have to write "um" at the start. That has a use in verbal communication but it's superfluous in the written word, and forces me to choose whether you're deliberately giving the impression of being a teenager or you just type as if you were speaking. That aside, I still disagree. I bet that if those 70 year old people had the choice of looking at things they used to do, or being able to actually do them again as if they were 30, they'd prefer to do them again. They're forced to settle for the pictures because that's all that's on offer.

  You say you disagree and then go on to agree with me. Huh?

    When you're typing, you don't have to say "huh" at the end. That question mark you've used can be used to indicate a question; the tonal grunt of "huh" isn't needed.

      Good lord you are the most boring person in the world, we all read technical manuals all day and some of us enjoy playing with language. I suppose you watch TV and moan that it's fucking entertaining with amusing puns and clever use of language (fuck Bill Shakespeare eh?) No no NO NO! TV should be a series of facts presented as white text on a black background. You sir are an arse. Why are you even on the internet spewing your hate? EliRivers is a boring bland person. No sense OF FUN and not at all interesting in any way. I bet a lot of people respond to you with tonal grunts. Is it that they all just wished you'd go away and leave them alone? Huh? Yep. 'fink so.
