Gentlepersons,
I have been carrying around a speaker magnet lately in order to test stainless
steel screws, nuts, bolts, etc.
I have just found out that NOBODY I work with in the NYC area, or at least
nobody I've talked to on either the design or the construction side, recognizes
this metal cylinder as a speaker magnet. None of them had ever seen a speaker
magnet before. I can't imagine that anybody roughly my age from the area where
I grew up (Los Angeles) wouldn't immediately recognize a speaker magnet if they
saw one.
How can this be?
Ralph

We are not a very charis-magnetic crowd, it seems. I could almost always see the
magnet on any speaker I owned through the paper cone. Then I got on the horn
with Klipsch...

Welcome to the older generation, Ralph!
I have the same issue with current use of the word "Technology". Now, whatever
it is is just a mysterious black box device that one can not fix with a
screwdriver.
When my vehicle was stalling and I suggested to the young and mystified mechanic
that the carburetor needed adjusting, he said, "No, there is no carburetor. It
is just that the technology is going wrong and the problem doesn't show up on
the computer."

Welcome to the older generation, Ralph! Thanks, but I've been part of the older
generation since I was a kid. My current mother-in-law , who knew me at the
time, described me THEN as "eight going on forty."
Some of the people I've showed the magnet to are older than I, so it's not an
issue of age as I first thought. I thought it might be geographic, in that
(maybe) New Yorkers didn't have opportunities to take radios apart that I did as
a kid in LA,, but why would this be the case?
I have the same issue with current use of the word "Technology". Now, whatever
it is is just a mysterious black box device that one can not fix with a
screwdriver. I have a feeling there aren't many people who couldn't fix
anything with a screwdriver, just as there are many things that nobody could fix
with a screwdriver, anyway. Why does the word "Luddite" keep coming to mind?
When my vehicle was stalling and I suggested to the young and mystified mechanic
that the carburetor needed adjusting, he said, "No, there is no carburetor. It
is just that the technology is going wrong and the problem doesn't show up on
the computer." THIS is horrendous.
