This is how you will know if you are "old": the signs that will soon disappear from the world

The years go by, technology advances and causes expressions that were once commonplace to be irrelevant and dying today - because teens no longer understand them.
But not only expressions, but also hand signs.
Vio Evans, a professor of linguistics, claims that hand gestures are known as "what time is it?"
Or "Give me the bill" are already dying and will not be used at all in the near future.
She argues that gestures with a specific meaning known as signs are more typical of a specific culture or generation.
She goes on to explain that there are movements that have been specifically targeted at certain devices that have lost their value as a result of technological changes.

How to talk on the phone?
Dad asked his children to make a hand gesture - and the results will make you feel old

The sign that the younger generation will no longer recognize?
For example, a hand movement that is in danger of extinction and has been popular for decades is placing the hand on the ear with the little finger and thumb in a way that symbolizes talking on the phone. The best illustration of this is Daniel Alvarado's video An abysmal difference between the current generation and the children of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
"That way you know you're getting older," Alvarado wrote and he was right.
Here are the differences

And what about the window?
How do you manually open a car window?
In a rotary motion - like the handle
At the touch of a button - like the button

The same is true of the circular motion that signifies the opening or closing of the window in the car - someone born after the 90s will not really understand why this movement is done to request a window opening, when the action he is familiar with is at the touch of a button.
Another time-consuming move is to mark the writing when you want to signal the waiter to bring an account because most waiters no longer use notebooks.
Dr. Evans referred to these changes and said: “The younger generation will no longer understand these signs.
Public telephones have disappeared from the world, fixed telephones hardly exist.
"People today only use smartphones and do not understand the signs."
These are the differences in the way you want to open a car window

Do they crank or press?
