I feel so humbled!

[AnotherSpin]

My nephew has the skills of playing computer games in his iPhone, with the level of skill which I even to not begin to grasp. But for some reason, I don't feel humbled. Rather I feel sorry for the boy who for hours drives his finger on the screen, but can not cut  a bow with arrows with his own hands, as we did in our childhood.

There is no reason for you to feel humbled. By the same token, neither should you feel sorry for your nephew. It's simply a question of different generations and their attendant forms of enjoyment. I'll bet that your nephew doesn't know who Roy Rogers was either.

 

 

I don't know who Roy Rogers was.

Somewhat surprising given your nostalgia about making your own bow and arrows as a kid, as they often went together with playing cowboys and Indians.

 

As a child I learned to handle a knife, needle, sew, how to repair books, clothes and furniture. I learned how to cook food, etc. I'm talking about it. Roy Rogers - American cultural symbols are not as popular in the world as you might think when you look from America.

 

By the way, I designed and assembled my own equipment rack from resonance deaf Italian blue granite and bronze parts 🙂

You missed the point. Roy Rogers was used as an example of a person very well known to kids of another generation, albeit in North America. I have no idea where you are from but I am sure there were people who were viewed as icons when you were a kid, whose names would mean absolutely nothing to your nephew.

 

You have no idea, but it was me, who missed the point. Funny 🙂
