Things that make you feel old

Yeah, Casablanca is one of my favourite movies. It's the same concept as music - do you feel old when people say they haven't heard of say Neil Young? They're just not into music.

True but it was easier to remember their phone number cause you had to dial it all the time.

i still remember the phone number of the house i grew up in.

I know kids these days probably don't even think about it, but I still feel goofy having to look into my phone to find my own number. How on Earth can I not remember my own phone number?

Nirvana and Metallica playing on classic rock stations.

I'm glad that I don't have to dedicate memory to those numbers though and can focus on other things. I see it as an improvement.

lol I hate that when someone asks for my own number. It does take me short while to retrieve it.

Right? it's kinda f*cked up machines are doing all the thinking for us
At this pace we'll end living in the future portrayed by idiocracy.

Yes! This is what I was going to say. I often listen to classic rock stations and it is incredibly scary hearing songs from my old childhood or teenagehood on there...

Your title reminds me of back when Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson, and Nye were in a band together:

Um, Batlord could be right. She apparently now has never heard of a concentration camp.

She's 22 before anyone asks.

How can anyone, of any age, not know about concentration camps? Wish we didn't have to but come on: were all those lives lost in vain? If we don't remember, if we're not taught these things, you know what can happen...

Is that where we take kids to learn how to focus their attention really well?
