How old are you? If you were born before 1970, you were born before space shuttles, cell phones, fax machines, digital beepers, satellite TV, Dolly the sheep, and earrings on businessmen.

You didn’t have Nintendo, police radar, video rentals, microwave popcorn, VISA/MasterCard, nor cruise control. You came along before adult day care, FedEx, caller ID, ATMs, VCRs, MTV and Chicken McNuggets.

New in your life are Palm Pilots, grocery scanners, computer viruses, Monday Night Football, sport utility vehicles, anti-lock brakes, air bags and Wonder Bras.

Amazingly, you lived in a world devoid of e-commerce, lite beer, disposable contact lenses, decoded genes, in-vitro fertilization, in-line skates and ‘N Sync boys. You probably remember a time before computer monitors, Post-it notes, and Post-it notes stuck all over your computer monitor.

For you “gigabytes” and “modems” were outerspace talk. Living together meant roommates. Smoking was cool, nobody fretted about cholesterol, and the phrase, “Mom, Dad, I’m getting married!” implied to a member of the opposite sex.

Oh my, how the world has changed!
