SomeMichGuy · M

@Pinkstarburst What date are you using?

Lostpoet · M

You mean because we have imagination and the ability to form our own opinions?

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M

I can remember when 8-track players were a new thing, and I’d bet money you don’t even know what that is 😂

Cassettes are why 8-tracks didn’t last…cassettes can rewind to hear the same song twice in a row 😂

And again, I’d bet the OP has no idea the relationship between a #2 pencil and a cassette tape 😂 @ShadowWolf

ShadowWolf · 31-35, M

@Zaphod42 Haha ya, that's why my knowledge of 8 tracks comes from working on older cars...I wasn't technically around for 8 track, but I've seen them, and my dad complained how much they sucked. In the 80s-90s cassettes were king. I was only a kid in the 90s, but i remember having like kids music on cassette tapes. Also VHS, that was a thing. And rofl regarding the #2 pencil vs cassette tape comment :). Really man, the same thing goes for cars. I know how to work with carbs and distributors. I also know how to diag an engine without plugging in a scan tool. Ya know, young mechanics today can't even use their eyes, ears, and nose to diag. They rely on a computer. It's sad.

@Zaphod42 they installed those 8-track players underneath the dash and drivers would be driving down the road and grab one of their 8-tracks to swap out after the previous one was finished and have a wreck. I remember reading about several wrecks here caused by that.

@JRVanguard yah and that wouldn’t have fixed my hip so even at that young age I knew it was dumb. My surgeon moved to the US and he was really good.

JRVanguard · 26-30, M

@iamonfire696 I’m glad it’s worked out
Sorry about the nerve pain💚

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@JRVanguard now I have lots of other pain to worry about with 3 types of arthritis 🤣😭

Mamapolo2016 · F

I would hope it does show. It would be lousy not having anything to show for the seventy years.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Mamapolo2016 It was wild watching my niece trying to figure out how to dial my phone.

bijouxbroussard · F

That doesn’t mean we don’t know how to [b]use[/b] it when needed. We just also have experience with textbooks and libraries.

checkoutanytime · M

Yes im 2, or 3 times older then google, ive seen Google mislead knows', im not a fan of the direction google is leading the way of.

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@checkoutanytime wdym

checkoutanytime · M

@Medoesnotcare Google plays favorites, not accuracies.

Rutterman · 46-50, M

Google was founded in 1998 and went public in 2004. I would certainly hope that I come across as older than 18 or 24.

SW-User

This is a true statement I am older than Google and the internet 😱

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@SW-User lol 😢

Northwest · M

IKR, imagine how embarrassed those who created Google might feel.

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@Northwest I say they’re loving life in theyre mansions

Quimliqer · 70-79, M

We came from an era where common sense and imagination reigned!!

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@Quimliqer ooooof no

RhaniBoo · 22-25, T

Most are older than computers themselves

ShadowWolf · 31-35, M

@RhaniBoo Not true first computer was made in 1822 https://theconversation.com/what-was-the-first-computer-122164. So unless someone here is about 200 years old 🤣

Heartlander · 80-89, M

Yea, I'd say. I had assembled my first PC from a kit years and years before Google was even a twinkle in Page and Brin's eyes. Also older than Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

Geez, I'm so old that I forgot that I had already responded to this message just a few months ago :)

Google is to the internet what Amazon is to retailing. They both left the competition in their dust.

Justafantasy · M

And some are younger than myspace

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@Justafantasy ooof

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

I am older than dirt

Pretzel · 61-69, M

@SW-User do you remember when they invented dirt too??

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

Older

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

Wow@BackyardShaman

Heartlander · 80-89, M

I'm much older than google and the internet, and even the PC. My first computer was from a "solder it yourself" kit with a 4K memory board.

Medoesnotcare · 22-25, F

@Heartlander more memory than me I guess 🤣

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@Medoesnotcare

In the 70s, I worked for an electronics retailer and saw the sales ticket for the first betamax recorder and playback machines. Together they were over $11K. At a garage sale today, they would probably go for less than $5 each. In the earlier 70s, even a hand-held calculator would have cost $50.

ShadowWolf · 31-35, M

I take pride in the fact I'm older than the evil Empire. Their CEO is basically the equivalent of Darth Sideous. You might be too young to know who Darth Sideous is, and it shows ;)
