    The year I graduated high school (1995), I knew some children who hadn't even started school yet or who were just finishing kindergarten. They have now graduated college, are married, and have children of their own!

    Also, I was talking to a HS friend of mine on Facebook and I said, "Derek, you do realize that you and I are the same age our parents were when we met (mid to late thirties)?" There was a long pause and he was like, "That is SOOO weird!!"

    Oh, yes, I almost forgot one...my sister is TWENTY years younger than me and she will be old enough to drive in December!

    People who where born in the 80's can drive :)

    What? That's been going on a long time haha. How about people born in the 90's can drive AND drink. Just hopefully not at the same time!

    Kids don't know what an NES is.
    Saw an article on a child who didn't know what a magazine was, or how to use it, but could use an iPad.
    VCRs are hard to find to watch your old VHS movies on. xD
    Remakes of TV shows I used to watch as a kid. (They're remaking The Munsters!)
    Kids these days think their video games can be "too hard". TRY PLAYING SUPER MARIO BROS. You get no save points, son!

    I still remember waiting forever and making myself a full blown snack or meal before the dial-up finally connected me into AOL... and DON'T get me started on having to wait for someone to get off of the phone before even thinking about getting on the internet :noway:
