Oh, c'mon! How long do I need to wait to find out??

 

Born in 1979 here. Too late for some really cool stuff, stuck with a childhood in the 80s, and too old to be hip with the new stuff.

By 1979 those things were in landfills all over. Out dated and hardly used.

You're mean. :tongue_smilie:

 

By 1982, the first nail was officially driven into the coffin.

I feel like the kid in the middle of a game of Monkey in the Middle. LOL.

While I might feel old, but I'm apparently not quite that old.

 

Just this weekend I looked at my husband while in Best Buy and said, "are we really that old?" The "young" man was explaining some new fangled computer interactive thingy. Why in the world would I want my Windows 8 computer to act as a GPS while I play Forza on my Xbox? At least I know what Windows 8, GPS, Forza, and Xbox are.

Mine never worked properly.

 

And I shall now go make a very large cup of coffee and feel sorry for myself for being in the oldest demographic in the poll. :)

 

 

You and me both. :D

Okay, I know what it is, and I voted that I was born in the 70's. I was actually born during the waning days of the 60's. The older I get, the less I like the fact that I was officially born in the 60's. 6 days later and I would have been a 70's baby--please don't hold it against me for voting in the wrong category! :bored:

Yes, I know exactly what it is. I still have some and still use them on the antiquated things for which they are meant. I actually have an antiquated thing with a pop-up one of those in the middle, but it broke off, so I had to crack open the very last package of those things in the pic that I ever bought. I think I bought the package sometime in high school in the mid-80's, so yeah.... I'm born before 1970.
