    His choice of time period makes me feel really, really old. Then I remember that the early 1990s were nearly 30 years ago and that I am now really, really old.👴🏻https://twitter.com/profmusgrave/status/1341936113032822787 …

    What’s something ubiquitous about the past, like the early 1990s, that stands out as something hard to convey to young folks today? My choice is the ubiquity of smoking.

        My age established, I’ll point out that when I was a teenager in the late 1970s I was frequently away from home with my friends for hours and my parents had no way of calling or reaching me. They just had to trust me or not let me out.

        I could also point out that when I was in college in the early 1980s, even though I went to U. of M. in Ann Arbor, only around 30 miles away from my parents, phone calls home were toll calls and cost 25c a minute at peak times (before 10 PM, IIRC). We were in the same area code.

        Ha, I was a tenured professor by 1990. I’ll join you, @gorskon, in feeling old after reading the question.

        We are approximately the same age, and thus are not old. Our high school classmates, however, have aged shockingly. Same with our college classmates. Indeed, pretty much everybody our age has done us the favor of aging rapidly, so that we are spared that indignity.

        I was really shocked when I went to my 50th high school reunion and there were so many old people there.

        I remember as a teenager in the '70s thinking HOW OLD I was going to be when the year 2000 came around. Now I think, it's the second decade of the 21st century and I'm still alive, and things have changed so very much.

        I’d replace your “really, really old” with “older.” Let’s not exaggerate, Dr. Gorski.
