The Older Person's Guide to New Stuff
Not that it's easy for middle-aged people, or even newly minted 40-year-olds like myself to keep up with the changes in pop culture trends, tech, and lingo these days, but The Older Person's Guide to New Stuff is predominantly intended for...hey! Talk to the hand, fartknocker! Forty isn't an older person. Forty is da bomb. Forty is all that and a bag of chips!
Anyway, like I was saying, The Older Person's Guide to New Stuff is predominantly intended for people like your mom, dad, gramps, Aunt Jan, and anyone else who needs a dictionary-encyclopedia hybrid to look up words and concepts such as "troll," "cryptocurrency," and "The Twitter."
