Future grandpa complains about technology from @willeygoat

The creator performs a comedy skit where he plays two roles: his future self as an elderly, out-of-touch grandfather at Thanksgiving in 2071, and his younger, tech-savvy relatives. The grandfather complains about the AI-generated turkey, doesn't understand their microchip-based social lives, and is horrified by mandatory in-brain advertisements. He tries to connect with them through old-fashioned outdoor games and reminisces about pre-climate-change family walks, ultimately lamenting the loss of real-world bonding.
