Last year there was a news article about a kid who was given a walkman for a week. He didn't even know what it was or what it did or how to use it. And that nobody in his school knew either. I was a sad panda. A sad, old panda
Oh come on, a 6-year-old could work that out!
Think about it this way, when was the last time you used a cassette? When was the last time you saw a cassette for sale?

.... goddamnit, now I feel old!

Are you by any chance a Time Lord with you memories stored in a FOB Watch? Cause that would be cool and explanatory.

OT: I remember having to rewind everything before taking it back to Blockbuster. True I'm only 17, but it made me feel pretty weird.

What is this cassette you speak of?

But still, they can't have found it that hard to figure out - its not like no one uses discs anymore.

I'm 19. I feel old when I look back and see that my all time favorite game was on the PS1, and that gaming hasn't evolved as much as we think it has.

I turned 30 today...
and yes, I feel old.
Happy birthday!

I just turned 30 not too long ago myself, did you spend it crying as well, and mourning the death of your youth?

Nothing makes one feel old quite like realizing your father was right about a lot of things...

My birthday is on Monday, and I'll be 24. So officially into mid-twenties, as 23 is kind of a grey area where you can choose to not have to face it just yet. Eeee....

I mean sure, that's still young comparatively, but still. You feel old when you recall that you've been legal drinking age for 5+ years, or when the first-years at school are '91-'92 kids and you can still remember what it was like being in kindergarten back then, vaguely.

The other day I realized that I feel old.

Why, you ask?

Well, it turns that a fantastic album made by a fantastic band was made 9 years ago.

System of a Down - Toxicity - 2001.

What makes you feel old today?
easy up there gramps we don't want you to have a heart attack.

what made me feel old? not much, unless you count that during a particularly trying round of heavy machine gun toting jugernaughting campers in modern warfare 2 today i started yelling profanity at the screen and not only realised that i knew what all these words meant and meant them, but that n-one around me (my brother and my sister, the parents were out) felt the need to critisise me or even had a problem with it.

I saw that one of my friends on facebook had become a fan of "When I was your age we had to blow on the games to get them to work." and I felt very old indeed.

I was reminiscing about Nickelodeon's programming lineup throughout the 90's with a friend the other night. We ended up watching episodes of Rugrats on YouTube. Somewhere between "Touchdown Tommy" and bashing the channel's current lineup, we realized we'd become those old people who sit on porches and ***** about how crappy the world is compared to the way it used to be.

It was sobering. I want to be seven years old again.
Do you really have to take the words out of my mouth?

OT: I'm gonna be 20 in less than a week... UGH.

I feel old when me and my friends talk about Panda Pop and Snaps crisps and all the awesome kids programmes we had oh and the good old PS1 games and I'm only 17. When you're sitting there saying oh the kids programmes these days are rubbish remember this....You can't help but feel old.

What the hell is wrong with me.
Either you have a brain tumor or you're being abused. Sexually, mentally and physically.

OT: I can barely remember new years eve 2000. And not for me being drunk but because that it's more than half my lifetime ago.

I fondly remember the Pokemon anime from my (earlier) childhood (only the first season, naturally). The anime series is now at least 10 years old. How the hell did that happen?

I know that I am old since three quarters of my class had not seen Die Hard With a Vengeance when I showed a clip of it in class (we were discussing popular depictions of terrorism in the media).

And to everyone wailing because they are turning eighteen or whatever, that ain't old. Hell, I'm almost ten years older then that, and that still isn't all that old.
