If Back to the Future were set today, Marty McFly would be going back to the 1980's.

[Lucille Bluth]

I was in an older car with a "roll down" style window and a child pointed at it and said, "What's that?!"

Typing papers on typewriters in school. I completely remember doing that with whiteout and all.

DS is 20 and that can't be since I am only 25 or about to be 40. In my head I am in my 20's so he can't be.

A couple of Christmases ago, I guess they were trying to make "normal" rollerskates (not rollerblades, the kind with wheels set in a rectangle pattern) a thing again. I was at Target and heard some tween say "OMG what a good idea! Those will be way easier to balance in than rollerblades -- why did it take them so long to figure it out?"

LMAO! OMG, that is priceless.

Did you ever see the Dave Chappelle bit about him being in the limo and seeing a baby on the corner selling weed?

How many people have placed bets on the Chicago Cubs winning the 2015 World Series as a result of this movie, I wonder?

(What's funny is that Miami actually now has an MLB team, too! Although they're both NL teams so they wouldn't be playing each other for the World Series.)

I am disturbed. I did the math because I thought you must have been mistaken.

it's true!

I'm in graduate school and vividly remember watching coverage on 9/11 in my sixth grade classroom. we pulled down the world map and tried to decide who did it. those two years older than me would've been 8th graders.

Ok this makes me feel old.
I watched Challenger blow up in 5th grade.

[CloudBee]

My nieces had babies before me.

[drloretta]

My closest friend in this town is technically young enough to be my daughter.

My oldest nephew is getting confirmed in March. Wasn't his baptism yesterday?

I watched part of Xanadu last night. Not only did I remember all the words to the songs, but the lead guy is now 63.

I said I wanted six-pack abs when I was 45. I will be 45 in November.

And as Blessed already knows, I have already begun having hot flashes. Hot flashes. Oy.

Dude, I was a senior in HS when Challenger blew up.

That sil (12) doesn't remember a world where we weren't at war. I know that's depressing, so here is a better one -- sil had her hair crimped the other day and said that crimpers were the new hot thing at school. I pulled out my crimper circa 1987 that I got for my 5th birthday. She was amazed.

My cousin who is an intern at my work, born in 95- he asked me if I was listening to some rap person, but it was clearly a 70/80's song I had on...

OMFG. Yes. this.


When younger people than me have more kids, and they were not teen moms. Or college moms. or grad school moms. As in they had their kids either in their late 20s or early 30s.

I'm going to be the same age Jesus (allegedly) was when he died. Was Jesus considered old or young?

Speaking of Back to the Future, it is absolutely irritating when people on FB post that clearly photoshopped picture saying that Marty went into the future on [today's date].

DUDE, THE MOVIE TOOK PLACE IN 1985. Went 30 years into the future. That would be 2015. NOT 2012, 2013. basic math people.

and even if you didnt remember what year, or how many years in the future he went- GOOGLE. It is incredible how often I see that stupid pic multiple times a year.

Ahh! Crimpers! lol

Its hitting me hard this year. My older sister is turning 30 in March. 30. :-| I'm only two years behind her and I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that we are both that old. (Not that 30 is old, just it doesn't seem like we should be anywhere near that yet, kwim?)

My baby cousin graduates this year. :-( I can still remember going to see him at the hospital when he was just born. When the hell did he turn into this HS senior? And his brother has been dead for 13 years next month. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and where he'd be in life if he were still alive. He was 18 when he died.

Then my first DD starts school in the fall. I swear, nothing makes me feel older than watching my own kids grow up way too fast.

Oh, and I was a junior in HS when 9/11 happened.

Car phones....I was SO impressed that phone calls could be made from a car with this thing.

Kevin & Winnie > Cory & Topanga

I watched both... Does that mean I was too young to watch The Wonder Years or too old to watch Boy Meets World?

The elementary school kid I tutor does not know what 9/11 is. When I explained (nevermind the fact that she's not learning about this in school) she gave me the blank stare and said, "Of course I don't know about it. I wasn't even born!"

Wait, I know this isn't the point of the thread (and was pages ago) but I'm confused how much an elementary school kid should be learning about 9/11?

I remember how my sister and I pooled our graduation money in 2001 (me from hs, her from elementary) to buy our first computer. It was a Dell desktop that cost over $1k. We were so excited to finally have AOL and profiles, and even moreso when we discovered the HTML codes that would change the colors and fonts.

I also remember hating Facebook when it first available to my college, and thinking how its simple format could never possibly replace MySpace.

And I was watching a friend's three year-old the other day and she fully understands how to use an iPad.

When people talk about being on Facebook in college. I already had my Masters and had been working for many years when Facebook was launched, let alone when it became available widespread.
