Thoughts after too much much wine in Restaurant Marido in Portmarin.
As an Old Fart I sometimes grumble to myself about the Young and their cell phones. But upon reflection I’ve changed my wine ( oops sorry * my mind).
I’ve seen many Young constantly looking at their phones and carrying their laptops. I’ve asked them what their doing. They’re doing remote work, job interviews, looking for their next job. Outside of Pamplona we all fell silent in a bus stop in the rain so a young German could do round 2 of a face to face interview.
My own daughter who walks with me is on her phone, looking for work, primping for Zoom interviews as she walks.
She doesn’t have the luxury of a full time salaried job, or a pension, just a life time ahead of gig work.
So when I look at the Young looking at phones I feel sympathy, they’re not looking at cat photos like the Old Farts. They are struggling to get ahead in a complicated world.
