Who Is The Neotimer?
The Neotimer named himself one Saturday night while sitting at the supper table with Ms Helen, Lizzy Clayboss and Gary Barker. We were at a Best of America by Horseback trail ride at Leatherwood Mountains in North Carolina. The discussion had centered around iPhone use amongst old people. Gary had seen me the night before looking at my iPhone. He said he thought to himself, "That old timer over there must be looking at a picture on some younger person's phone". When I told him I was doing a status update on my Facebook page he was astonished. I told him there are more and more old folks embracing new technology all the time. And some of us old folks have grown up with technology and just don't let it get ahead of us. I told him that I was a New - Old Timer, then thought of Keanu Reeves' character Neo, in The Matrix and the name just popped out like a Neo'n sign.
