Getting Old............. http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2016/

You know those facebook posts that show a picture of something old and it says, ""Do you recognize this?"" or something like that? Yesterday's was a picture of Shirley Temple - do you know who this is? YES, I do and I know ALL of them (an egg beater, roller skates, a bottle filled with water for ironing, etc., etc.)! Definitely getting old....

Great List. Makes you think. These are people we'll be dealing with business-wise in few more years.

Busy signal, rotary phone, phone booth, typewriter, etc.

Which explains why Clark Kent now changes clothes in a broom closet that has a window.

Debbie, the rotary phone comment brought back a memory. Back in the late 80's when we lived in Chicago, my brother and his family came for a visit. That day we traveled to the Museum of Science and Industry on the lake front. One of the user interactive exhibits was on technology, specifically touch tone vs rotary dialing (no cell phones yet). The game was to see who could dial a ten digit phone number the fastest. My neice and nephew were the first up. My nephew had the rotary. He dialed by pressing down on each hole instead of inserting his finger and turning it clockwise and letting it return. The adults burst out laughing and he had no idea why........

LOL

You guys are young! I still USE an egg beater. I was six in 1958 when we traded the crank telephone for our first rotary. Pardon me while I move my walker closer to the screen. :-) After 10 years in programming, I worked with someone who worked on ENIAC!!! However, if Wayne keeps getting up early and taking long walks - he may out live us all!

There was something on TV about Woodstock the other day and my son asked if I was there... (No, I was not!)

Dan, Happy 60th.......... An AARP member for five years??

Please shut up Jeff! ;)

I am just showing off my math skills........... I am already a member of the AARP club but Dan will always have a few more candles on his cake......... Here is a brain teaser for all. Solve the equation below..... 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 0 = ?

0

15 (old math).....;-) Multiplication comes before subtraction or addtion! No?

Others???? Is this a trick question?

Now you're making me think too hard. And after a trying day at a customer's! My answer? ""Who cares?"" :)

looks like 15 to me.

Always good to have a brain teaser to finish the day on. Ok, @ThereseLogeais, I'll lob one in for you - we are in a car driving by a cemetary and I ask ""hey, @ThereseLogeais , how many people are dead in the cemetary""? What would your answer be????

All of them!!!!

She's a winner!!!!!

My dad still had an avacado Bakelite phone on the wall until 1992.

I say 20. To the phone's. I was reading about the millions people are still paying each year for things like 'touchtone' service and other features for POTS phones.
