Taking photos at the Pride Parade with my trusty Nikon F and a young woman says to me, "I've never seen a camera that clicks before". (The click, of course, is the sound of the manual shutter on a 35-mm camera opening and closing).

Sigh.

Kodachrome, to give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summer, make you think all the world's a sunny day
I've got a Nikon camera, I'd love to take a photograph
So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away.
 
I think that young lady was lying you! There are plenty of smart phones that make that sound when they take a picture. Sure it's just a sound bite in the software, but that still counts!

You know you are getting old when the ice cream truck and its "music" pisses you off!

Especially if you watched when the series began, not just its last years...most people didn't have TVs...Tom Terrific was still better than most cartoons...

My 2 boys were on the Ramblin Rod show when they were 5 and 6.

You know you're old when you're talking to a co-worker, describing how much fun it was while on long car trips as a kid, to rewind tapes to listen to the song again...and in the middle of that you remember that when you were REALLY young, your parents couldn't even afford a tape player in their car and you had to use a stereo tape player with batteries.
 
When I was young cars only had AM radios, and that was an option.

My first ever car had only an AM radio. There was one rock station but it carried Blazer games. So I started listening to games on the radio....
 
So, apparently I'm the last one to be informed to the definition of YOLO.

It's a stupid fad if you ask me.
 
I know when I'm old when I have younger friends try and introduce me to music I heard 15 years ago.

Consider yourself lucky. EVERYONE my age says YOLO. Either they mean it, or they are saying it as a joke, but it's annoying as fuck either way. Drake is a piece of shit.
 
You know you're getting old when the tv and movie stars you used to fantasize about have wrinkles
 
You know you're old when you're one of the few people in the room that remember TV with big heavy picture tubes and phones had to be plugged into the wall.

When a 52" tv had three color projectors that mounted in the front and that flipped down?
 
my dad had a satellite dish that was like 10 feet across and would move like 180 degrees to hit satellites and there was a satellite that was all porn channels

a porn satellite
 
When you go to a baseball game in Oakland and there are young fans who don't remember how beautiful the stadium was before they tore it up to build Al Davis a football field. Even though the Raiders had won Super Bowls on the "bad" field.
