this will be interesting...

- my doctor is almost half my age

I remember when...
- pc's would never be commonplace
- internet? what is this, it'll never work
- I actually used a pay phone...(I just realized the other day my small town actually still has a phone booth)
- "cell" phones had a bag and a cord and were only for the wealthy
-beta max and vhs
-atari 2600
-cars we had as teens are now restored and selling for 6 figures...
I can't go on, I have too many tears to see

1. My step son is old enough that he put his car in a ditch (dumbass teenagers) . And now i have to fix it

2. I no longer play video games
That's funny. I guess I'm regressing into dementia. I find I'm playing them more.
I find blowing up things therapeutic in my old age.

And I need to add one more thing

Compuserve.

Don't forget Prodigy as well :)
I was teaching a class at a community college, and I made reference to a dial-up modem, and most of the students looked at me like I was crazy. This derailed the conversation, so I looked up a sound bite of a dial-up modem on YouTube which then led us to talk about service providers, and most of them didn't realize there was anything prior to AOL. Half of the students didn't realize that AOL used to come on CD-ROMs in the mail.


It made me feel very very very old.
