So on another board there was a discussion about Teddy K leaving us and some one brought up the band Dead Kennedys. Instantly my mind jumps back to my early teen days in the 80's as a skater punk. I can still remember the 7-8 of the whole songs line by line. I can still remember a phone number my grandmother had 25 years ago.

I can't remember my wifes cell phone without looking it up in my cell today.

Is it technology making our minds lazy or just getting older?

joe_padavano

Yes, though it bothers me more that you were a teen in the 80s.

Seriously, it's all repetition. How many times did you listen to those songs, vs. how many times have you actually dialed your wife's number by hand?

If it makes you feel any better I did not get out of my teens until the 90's were well under way

joe_padavano

Yeah, I feel MUCH better now...

Time to buy one of those "Old Guys Rule" shirts.

Same boat....I remember 1985 like it was yesterday but cannot remember
my doctors appt. Oh well maybe its time to sell my punk rock lp collection
and buy something a little quieter.

Your only as old as you feel, I think I stop around 22.

I don't know anyones phone number anymore. They're all on speed dial. When my cell went Tango Uniform I was lost

I got out of my teens way back when "party" was a noun.

I still remember the # we had when I was 10 years old , back then you didn't have to worry about hitting the right buttons but getting your finger in the right holes. Of course you first had to pick up the phone and listen to make sure no one else was already on the party line. I had my first calculater when I was in grade 12 , texas instruments , real high tech but they didn't let you use them in class or doing tests cause it was considered cheating.
