If you are genuinely "old", you'd be more likely to know who Teller is. Penn & Teller were pretty ubiquitous back in the 80s and 90s. Teller is 73. Fun fact - he taught Latin at the high school I went to (before my time) before making it as a magician.

I'm 44. Too old for autotune-music, apparently too young for Teller the magician. Or just spent too much time immersed in books instead of a glowing screen.

I'm still of the opinion that the title is misleading, but I accept that most people think differently than myself. That's been a common thread my entire life )) I think that a popular technology company even made a slogan out of it.

Maybe take some time to think about why you find the need to try and insult people by saying stuff like "[I] spent too much time immersed in books instead of a glowing screen" instead of just acknowledging your gap in pop culture knowledge and moving on with your day?

"Ah, I see Teller is a well known pop culture figure. My mistake." would be a more appropriate way to respond. Searching "Teller" on Google outputs the magician as the first four results. It's not like it's some super small name.

Be nice, I'm sure it took some genuine effort on OP's part not to tell you that they don't even own a TV.

Actually, I don't own a TV ))

I accept that it makes me a weirdo. I just don't like the passiveness of the TV, but I really did not mean any insult to yupper32. He can enjoy whatever medium he likes.

Well you're in luck, young bibliophile. Teller has authored or co-authored five books, all published between your 12th and 28th birthdays.

I may be more familiar with his work than the average person because of his connection to my high school. But saying the title was "clickbait" (as if there is some large contingent of people that were hoping to hear the secrets of bank tellers) is a little much.

Terrific, thank you. You've piqued my interest, I will take a look at his books. Always nice to explore a new genre. Well, almost always.
