officially old...

[thoreau]

I was training my interns this morning on a new web utility - and said "and hit a carriage return" - and the classroom stopped and they literally asked "what is a carriage return?" - I had to explain when you typed on a typewriter - that you stopped and pulled the carriage return. OMG. The conversation also wandered to the fact that none of them have ever used or owned cassette tapes (8 track or simply "cassette). I'm now old.

fuck.

Geez - if it took this long to realize you're old, then you ain't THAT old! 25 years ago, I was babysitting my youngest cousin, who looked at me with innocent amazement after listening to "Eleanor Rigby" on the radio, and said to me "I didn't know Paul McCartney had been in a band before Wings!"
