    Back in my day, cells were tiny little things we studied in Biology; Netflix were movies about tennis; posting on a wall involved a placard, hammer and nail (that possibly could get you in trouble).

    We always stood up and had our hands over our hearts when the American flag was raised and the Star Spangled banner was sung/played. The young generation doesn't even stop or stand still to acknowledge the pledge anymore.
