I had the bossy Titan. What makes me feel old is when I talk about my 8 tracks and beta tapes and my wife doesn't know what I'm talking about. She's quite a bit younger than me.

I think this belongs in the "Stuff That Makes You Feel Edmontonian" thread.

What makes me feel old? I was just reading the "What Grinds my gears" thread and Western Canada King quoted Longboards...I had to google what a longboard was.

visiting my brother and sister-in-law and seeing my 3 year old niece, watching netflix. and i realize that she'll never experience TV that isn't at least HD, or listen to music that isn't in perfect quality, or ever use a cell phone that isn't more powerful than the PC i used 5 years ago. that when she's my age, she'll look back at the technology i think as flippin awesome and consider it hokey and "retro"
hell i'm only 28, i don't feel that old mentally or physically, but the amount of technical innovation i've seen in my short lifetime so far is mind boggling. i wonder if she'll see the same kind of rapid progress that i have, or if things have plateaued a bit and it'll be more of a steady progression. afterall you can only make a cellphone so small, or a video game with so many polygons

I can't agree with that one. The quality of music on the internet is of astounding poor quality. We've made virtually no advances in quality of music in the last 25 years. CDs were easily the best quality form of music ever created. I know some people argue this because they love the warm feel of vinyl but really they just loved the background hiss.
For the most part CDs are/were lossless. Now lossless formats are almost dead and it is sad. Except for the few audiofiles and purists that use FLAC.
MP3s are the devil but I digress...

You still have no idea about the &$@^ you will have to go through to get to 30. Enjoy it. It only happens once. The fact that I have told you that makes me feel old.

Shut up, Junior. When I was your age, the iphone 1 was still just an announcement. People had their mp3s on separate devices. Now you kids have your iphone 5.

Here we go, I hit my 44th birthday today, and I'm sitting at home because all of my friends are pretty much married with kids.
And when I was 20 I swore I would never hit 40.
Well suckers, its off to the suicide booth for me, I think I'll select slow and painful.

Turning 30 was no big deal to me, but now that I'm nearing mid 30's, turning 40 seems to disturb me a great deal.
