We all know someone (maybe even YOU) who's not living in 2010. Maybe they're stuck in the old market, old economy, their old decisions, their old career, an old relationship. Maybe it's the person who's stuck in their good ol' school days, and don't even get me started on people with old technology!

I just bought myself a polaroid camera for my birthday - you know, the instant film one? I mean, it's a modern day version, but I think the instant camera has a charm that the digital camera cannot compare to.
Am I living in the past?
What about people who live in the future?

I could go on for hours on this one sentence of yours. My grandfather still uses AOL and my father didn't own a computer until a few months ago and as soon as he got it he promptly managed to forget his password so he can't even turn it on. I've shown my grandfather how to copy and paste at least fifty times and even one time wrote instructions with pictures.
Seriously, though, you named my father to a tee. He's stuck in the past but then he's getting on in the years and is retired so I just smile and listen attentively whenever I visit and he starts to tell me a story he's told me at least ten times before.
