You might be old if... (actually, since this is the Senior forum I bet everyone will get at least 9).

Through the use of AI, we no longer have to sit through the video...

Here are the 10 things that might indicate you're "old," according to the video:
  1. Using a landline phone to make a call (0:06).
  2. Renting or returning a movie from Blockbuster (0:13).
  3. Burning a CD or making a cassette tape (0:20).
  4. Owning a pager (0:27).
  5. Having or creating a MySpace page (0:34).
  6. Reading a newspaper (0:42).
  7. Using a phone book to look up a number (0:46).
  8. Saving information on a floppy disc (0:56).
  9. Having to use a pay phone (1:04).
  10. Riding in the back of a station wagon, looking out the back window (1:14).
I never owned a pager or had a MySpace page, but people who did aren't necessarily "old."

Here are some things that might mean you are "old"...
  • Replaced the points and condenser in a vehicle.
  • Used a dial phone.
  • Had a black and white TV
  • Wore bell bottoms or boot cuts
  • Purchased a vehicle for under $100 and drove it as is
  • Had a car with a bench seat in the front
  • Went to a drive-in theater

Anybody else? :)
 
I got 6 out of 10. I've never burned a cd, never owned a pager (did use one at work though), never had a MY Space account, never transferred anything onto a floppy disc.

I never had a pager and that was it on the list. My parents had a station wagon when I was young and I remember sitting in the back when going to drive in movies and when they were driving it. I did have a Myspace account although I don't recall using it much.

Oh STOP IT ! You're a baby. :LOL:

I'm old...going to say I got 10 out of 10. I'm not sure about the station wagon (probably did), but I've ridden in the "rumble seat" of my father's car when I was little. Remember those? And floppy disks...that's what I still have to use to record the music I compose on my Clavinova. Back in the 80s, we health investigators, who spent a good amount of time in the field, had to use pagers for work.
 
Guy is my age. We call that an older youngster.
My grandma said at 86 that she was helping the old people. At her 100th bday my sister asked how she felt and then she said: old.

We had Videoland, didn't use a pager and didn't use MySpace. Back of the station wagon, no but I saw other kids sit in there. I sat on the half open window though, but that was in a traffic jam. Didn't read the Newspaper. Boring and so negative. My dad did that. LOL that reminds me. I had a friend who never read a Newspaper either. We were in our 20s. Someone asked her if she knew who Ceaucescu was, in the time that he just got killed and you got bombarded with the news. She thought it was a soccer player.
 
I don't remember ever riding in a station wagon and I've never had a pager. Never dealt with Blockbuster. Never burned a CD. Never had to use a pay phone. Oh thank goodness... I'm not old! :ROFLMAO:
