Retail worker here. Our youngest associates were born in 1991. I was almost 13 at the time, and I still can’t wrap my head around this.
Oh, and people born in 1989 are driving themselves all over the place. Unacceptable.
A few minutes ago, while posting to a Cafe Society thread about concert t-shirts, I came to the frightening realization that I’ve been attending concerts in five decades starting in the 60’s. Yikes.
Two stories…
I have a friend who’s my age, 38, and she told me how her kids were in the attic with her and one of them pointed out the ‘old computer’ sitting on a shelf.
… It was a typewriter
After she told them, “It’s a typewriter”, they didn’t know what that meant. They’d never heard of one before.
Second story could be worse…
Twenty years ago, I had a friend who was also my age, 18, and he was over his girlfriends house and asked what time it was. She looked at the clock right in front of both of them, turned to him confused, and said “It’s a quarter of ten.”
And he said “What’s that mean?”
“It’s nine fourty-five.”
“Oh! Nine fourty-five, I understood that. But what’s that other thing you said?”
He had never seen a regular clock in his life. His entire family had digital clocks, digital watches, and his exclusive private school also had digital clocks on the walls. Saying ‘a quarter to’ or ‘half past’ was meaningless to him.
Saltire Yeah, I knew about Mario Bros, that’s why I had the “er, Super Mario Bros” comment. I missed out on playing Mario Bros in an arcade but I went nuts for it when they included it as a tack-on to Super Mario Bros 3. My favorite handheld game is the Gameboy Advance repackage of (North America’s) Super Mario Bros 2* and the original Mario Bros.
*In Japan, SMB2 was actually very much like the first SMB, but with weird stuff like Poison Mushrooms (that did damage) and winds that blew you backwards on some of the jumps, it was way harder than Super Mario Bros, and Nintendo didn’t think it would sell, so they took another game with an Arabian character, turned him into Toad, and inserted Mario, the Princess, and Luigi for the US Super Mario Bros 2. When Super Mario All-Stars (a Super Nintendo game with SMB’s 1-3, with save features and a major graphics face-lift) came out in each region, they included the other region’s SMB2 as “The Lost Levels.” :o
Dude, my videogame knowledge may be spotty in some areas (especially pre-Super Nintendo, cause I was under 10 at the time), but you gotta be pretty hardcore to know more about Nintendo trivia than me (I was a total zealot, in fact I even still use a “Super Power Club” key-chain I got from their magazine, because it has a neat Mario hologram image on the other side!). 
I was born in 1943.
I did not think about being old until way back when I re-entered the dating scene.
I ran into this really foxy chick. A real ‘10’. We actually were getting along, I could not believe my luck with hooking up with such a hot young chick.
We got around to talking about our histories a bit and she pulled out pictures of her grand kids…
I thought a grandma was hot…
That was the day I got old…
Now I am so old that I know grandma’s are really hot…
