Something young kids today will never understand

I had an interesting conversation a few years back. One of the women in the office was talking about how she had been watching video tapes of when she was born. I thought about this and wondered if her dad had been an early adopter of technology and she said not really. I asked how old she was and it turned out that she was 12 years younger than me so I kept quiet. A few minutes passed and she returned to the conversation and asked how old I was. We had both assumed we were roughly the same age.

But it must be interesting to be able to see your first years alive in high definition video rather than a few black & white or faded colour still photos.

I remember when we got our first TV. I wasn't in kindergarten yet. (1955/6)
