Hell, I remember when a disk drive was a big thing. I had a Commodore 64 and for the first year or so, I used the cassete deck. Happy day when we finally got the disk drive.

I remember going to see "Star Wars" when it came out originally. IN 1977.
Brother & I were in a thrift store a few years ago, looking at a piece of furniture I wanted; this kid (maybe 18?) nearby looks at us and says, "excuse me, how does this thing work?"
He was looking at a RECORD PLAYER. And of course he looked at us and thought 'They must know'
Damn kids.

I know how a record player works, and I was born after 1984. :3 And I'm not an audiophile or sound engineer!

I know how you feel. I'm 35. Its the same way I felt when I found out Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam are now considered Classic Rock.
Uggg.

If you were born in 1990, you can legally drink.
Meaning all those ten year old children that saw their parents drink after 9/11 can copy their parents.
If I knew how to do flash programming, I wanted to do a project on Lightbulb memory, and have a list of events like movie releases and other smaller news, and there only be two answers. Before 9/11 or After 9/11. (My aim was to have all the events be after 9/11, but see how many think it was before due to it being a memory so engrained, that you don't even realize how long it's really been).

I remember back in elementary school, we didn't have computers yet in our classes or libraries, it was on a BUS that stopped by once a week so we could play Oregon Trail.

I was one of those people that grumbled "A parsec is a measure of distance,not time!!!" (I was 21)
