young vs old
"Were you alive at the 70's?
Wow, you are old :)"
I am not old, my friend.

I'm not old! I'm thirty-seven!
Yes, I'm old. The rest of you are young whipper-snappers.
I remember watching the first moon landing on TV.

You are not old.
The 70's started just 36 and a half years ago.
That's just about 13300 days.
Sounds like it was yesterday :)
That last one was not me.
I've never even had sex with anyone born in the 70's. That's how old I am.

36 is not old, "when you've only got 100 years, to live".
Five for Fighting. I love that song.

That was not me!
Anyways, not having sex with people born in the 70's was like a major thing, back in 1986. You know!

Sometimes I think we don't appreciate what a difference computers and the internet are making on our society.
My grandfather (before he died in 1976) could remember a time without TV, without radio, maybe without cars. My father, born in 1932 or so, had radio and cars his whole life, but TV was new. I had radio, TV, and cars my whole life, but Computers and the Internet were new.
My son will grow up having computers and the internet his whole life.
Note none of these 'new technologies' have gone away. I still listen to NPR radio, and on Sundays I can listen to old 1940's Gunsmoke episodes on the radio.
Also, we have a television record of our country that goes back to the 1940's or so. My point being, when the technologies are brand new, people treat them differently than when we've "gotten used to them". But even though 'brand new', there's a collection of data that starts being built up that can be preserved.
Ah, I must be wandering in my old age. There's a good idea in there somewhere, though.

The good idea is to have sex with the youngest generation possible. Cars, radio, Internet, genital bacteria gears, notwithstanding.

"The 70's started just 36 and a half years ago."
Yeah, not a long time ago at all...I mean, it's only twice my current age.
