Re: pretty soon
I live in a relatively small town and took some friends to the movie theater last year, I'm 38 and they are new to the net when we got there they started to pull out money and stand in line, I walked upto the quick ticket machine swiped my cc and out popped 3 tickets of which I had already paid for online, bypassed the line and went straight on in after I gave them thiers should've seen the looks on thier faces it was a kodak momment, needless to say they now order the tickets online after a quick how-to.

'got that right. And I'm a middle-aged ol' fart. The younger you are, the more you feel that way.
That 30% will go down as it dies off; I'm sure the vast majority are elderly. I still remember the time we had to buy an airline ticket for my mother-in-law and subsquently take her to the airport. It was impossible to explain the concept of "electronic ticket" to her, and we had to get a paper one: no online check-in, no using the express check-in machines in the terminal; it took forever. |
