How can MTV continue w/its charade of video music awards when they NEVER play videos anymore - it's all stupid "reality" shows.  No TRL, Insomniac Theater, Headbangers Ball, etc.

My mom jokes about still having a "dumbphone" ...

My dad hates it when he's watching the news and the anchor says, "for more information on this product recall, just go to our website and search for 'XYZ' "

Not everyone has a smartphone, tablet, or e-reader!

You know you're old when you miss reading the tabloids and instead of seeing the latest scandals about Cher, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and older Hollywood legends, it's all boring social media drama involving people who got famous because they're dating famous people, or are best friends with other famous people, or made a sex tape (*coughKimKardashiancough*). or starred in a reality show. No wonder the A-listers are pretty much staying out of the limelight and silently working in the background. Why bother when all you hear about are Twitter wars between friends of celebrities? I barely know who anyone is anymore, and that's probably a good thing! 

Taping radio station broadcasts hoping they play your favorite song. Now I can just look it up what I want to hear on YouTube or purchase it online.

When Thanksgiving used to be just as important as Christmas. Now Thanksgiving is treated as just an afterthought, and another day to get shoppers rushing out the doors and online to buy. Thanksgiving isn't even one of my favorite holidays, but it's sad how now it's just about overlooked in the mad dash to make extra money.

Bubble gum cigars and candy cigarettes were just candy and not an incentive for kids to start smoking. I used to buy them all the time at the drugstore and 7-11.

When the streetlights and/or porchlights came on, that meant time to get your butt indoors!

When there were no spoilers for TV shows. Why let everyone know what's going to happen? It's more fun watching and not knowing everyhing.

Nope, it's Martha Quinn (stepdaughter of financial writer Jane Bryant Quinn).

Kennedy was a VJ in the 1990s.

'Gee', I thought I'd have a few more hearts re: being too lazy/tired to climb all of those steps........lol.

Kennedy then...

Kennedy now.

A while back I was at a networking group and sat down next to a woman whose company I enjoy.   She had her phone out, looking at her grandkids, and showed me the pics.  

Then she asked me if I had any grandchildren, and I was horrified that she thought I was old enough to have them!  It would have been completely different if she'd asked me if I had any children ..... but grandchildren?   

My facial expression obviously gave away my shock, because she immediately changed the subject.  lol

My husband often asks me who people on tv are, especially if they are singers. I tell him I have no idea lol.

Many people seem to assume that everyone owns a Smart phone. I do not own one. When people start rambling on to me about downloading apps on my Smart phone, I tell them I don't own one, and they look at me like I'm from another planet. I still remember using the rotary phone when I was a kid. Yes, I'm old.
