Publisher's noteHow to be cool when you're afraid you've forgotten how . . . Sure, you can try to stay younger by exercising, coloring your hair, and wearing stylish clothes--but how do you respond when someone asks, "Do you Twitter?" "How Not to Act Old" gives you simple ways to come back from over the hill and to act as young as you look. Covering everything from old-people entertainment (cancel that dinner party ) to old-people communication (it's called a "voice mail," not a "message," and no one leaves or listens to them anyway), Pamela Redmond Satran decodes the behaviors, viewpoints, and cultural touchstones that separate you from the hip young person you wish you still were. This irreverent guide is essential for anyone who doesn't want to embarrass their kids--or themselves. A lighthearted primer on how to behave youthfully covers everything from youth-culture phrases and entertainment venues to hip behaviors and viewpoints, sharing practical tips on avoiding expressions, activities, and fashions that reveal one's chronological age. 30,000 first printing.

Original. AnnotationThe world of technology is moving so quickly these days that it is absolutely impossible for any person to keep pace, since the newest, latest, coolest gadgets are often outdated before they ever become available for purchase. Thankfully, novelist and journalist Pamela Redmond Satran has created an all-in-one guide to help people who remain trapped in an analog world to maintain at least a semblance of awareness of the digital age. Satran provides essential advice on how old folks (in their 40s) can negotiate new technology (texting is allowed, but Twitter is too much), as well as tips on how to avoid other ill behaviors (avoid direct confrontation, start body waxing), and an imperative guide to the delicate use of slang ("cool" is cool, but "hot" is not).
