Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A rolling stone gathers no moss. What do those things even mean? Well, if you’re like most people and you have a bit of trouble learning the virtue of patience, not jumping to conclusions, or being grateful for what you’ve got through those old expressions, then not to worry. Geek Dad has updated those old sayings for the modern age.
Of the ten listed, my favorite is, “A fool and his password are soon parted.” Truer words have never been spoken, as the research shows! “Hindsight is always 1080p” is also amusing, but I’d settle for hindsight being in 480p myself. As for the one that reads, “E-mail, Twitter, and Facebook are three best friends and three worst enemies.” There has never been anything said so wise.
Do you have any updated axioms for the modern era? Perhaps, “That as dead as VHS,” rather than “as dead as a doornail” or “as dead as HD DVD?” “It’s always darkest before the LED light kicks in?”

Or maybe, “It’s better to edit your previous comment and be thought a fool than to double post and remove all doubt.”
