7 Things Only People Over 40 Understand

Figuring out math in your head

People who lived in another era know that it was impossible to carry a calculator with you when you were at the grocery store and you had no choice but to figure out math in your head. At that time, there were no mobile phones that had a calculating function on them, so you had to deal with the math you learned in school. Yet, if you were skipping math classes from high school, you could be scammed by merchants when they gave you the change.

However, there is a positive side to this phenomenon in which you had to do math in your head, namely that it can help you improve your brain functions and keep your mind sharp. If you do everything on your phone and it becomes an extension of your hand, you won’t be able to do anything without it. 

 

Making photo albums

Who needs to make photo albums when you can do this on your phone, or other electronic devices, or various online apps, such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and so on? In addition, people over the age of 40 know that making album photos was one of the most interesting and beautiful things that you had to do to keep your memories alive for years. Some people even kept photos of their partners in their wallets to bring them good luck. 

If you are from a younger generation, you may know that photo albums were very popular decades ago, maybe because your grandparents still show you photos of your family when you visit them, right? Maybe you gather and look at pictures with your parents since they were little and laugh together about those wonderful times.
