Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things..

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1987.

They are too young to remember the first space shuttle blowing up on liftoff.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane".

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet?

Yeah I feel old, can't wait to see how old some others on here feel when reading this. I'm talking about the ones who actually lived through the 60's and earlier.

 didn't feel all that old until I was talking with some young punk coworkers the other day, and they didn't know a thing about the Six Million Dollar man. maybe I should just die now!

[Telvis]

I loved me some six million dollar man. We woule run around in slo motion in out back yard. I don't really mind being old. That list is pretty close to the truth though.

When I was 11, I had a neighbor kid completely convinced that I was Steve Austin's son.

LOL!  I totally identify with the whole 6 million dollar man thing.  I can remember doing the exact same thing Telvis mentioned...and making the strange nah nah nah nah noise to go with it.  My kids have a REAL hard time identifying with the fact that I had no playstation, microwave or vcr when I was a kid.
