Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things:
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1985. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
The CD was introduced the year they were born.
They have always had an answering machine.
They have always had cable TV.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".
They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
Now, don't you feel old? (Sorry)

Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.
 
1975: Nano nano
2005: Nanotech

No I don't feel old. I don't believe in the evidence of my senses as the final judge of the quality of reality. Time is one of the bars of the prison of Limitations. There are no limits. Excelsior!
 
Yea, thats funny. I read this to my boys who are 15/12 and they said if they cant find the remote they just wont watch tv. LMAO!!!
 
What's really starting to piss me off is the new gadgets they come out with that don't have any controls! You are forced to use the damn remote. But what can you do if you can't find it???? I usually end up reading a book or cleaning the house.

Im 25 and damned if Im getting off the couch to change the channel on my tv! Ill search the house for 2 hours to find the remote (or go out and buy a new one) before I actually walk to the tv! :D

I remember just about everything on that list.

Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.
Amen! Chocolate is heavenly goodness!
 
I just picked up a couple of Bose Wave Systems for my office (a Denon and 100" screen in the conference room) and you cannot control it any other way than by a remote. No buttons on it whatsoever.

Had a SuperBowl party there as a grand opening. It was great having an entire wall of football game. Well, that and a couple kegs of microbrew...
