    The JR/Alien stuff doesn't affect me because I was only 1 or 2 so obviously can't remember them, but 1990 being closer in time to the Moon Landing than we are to 1990...

    If the kids from Friends were real:

    Emma would be 11 this year.
    Phoebe's triplets would be turning 15
    Monica and Chandler's twins would be 9
    Ben would be 18 in May :eek:

    I still remember the episode when Emma was born

    That's fcuked. Seems like that "acceptable in the 80's" song only came out a year or two ago.

    Kids born in the year 2000 are either already in secondary school or will be going there this year... I remember my first day in secondary school... in the year 2000. Dear jesus.

    The Matrix is 14 years old.

    Terminator 2: Judgement Day is 22 years old (and still looks kick-ass to this day)

    and other things that just remind me of how quickly time is marching on, and "recent" things are actually from a generation or two ago...

    That's what happens when children are driven everywhere, they no longer no personal locomotion.

    What gets me is seeing a film out in the cinema and then seeing it shown on RTE.

    "What? But that was only in the cinema...3 years ago"...!:eek:

    You're growing until you're 18, once you hit that you're just getting older year by year.

    Someone pointed that out to me before and I fvcking hate them for it :(

    I would imagine most kids in secondary school now don't remember when the PS1 and the N64 were considered high-tech, cutting edge entertainment.
