Yes, I'm pretty old. I grew up using both the card catalog and computers. I was required to take cursive class, played Oregon Trail off a floppy disk. My generation is famous for being overlooked and infamously independent. We survived a childhood in the 1980s.
As an older, "out of touch person," I am wondering if anyone can explain why Redditors ask questions in subreddits that they could easily (and quickly) find answers to by looking it up themselves- such as "What do you put in a hummingbird feeder?" Is it just a need to engage people because you are lonely?
