When I was a kid, my parents’ house had those sliding wooden doors that recessed into doorframes.

You had to manually slide the door out by hand, though.

Of course, as an adult, my wife and I installed the “Star Trek” style doors in our house.

Whenever I go to friends’ houses, it’s so strange to wave my hand in the air or walk up to a door and it not open/close automatically.

I blame the “Star Trek” franchise for spoiling me and hating my technologically-challenged friends!
