I'm a Reiki Master surrounded by people with differing lifestyle. Stuck in a groove impeded by lack of car to get around and have control of my life.

Having enough gigabytes to handle my photographs and accept apps that will help in negotiating the world is a hardship. He lives in Europe. I'm in the states and can't afford international roaming.

Many of the talents in tech are not correctly labeled as "younger people." Sorry you felt need to imply that their contribution is bigger than other ages.
