Yes, they have all of that information at their fingertips, and take it for granted. They don't seem to know about anything outside of their own little world, and would rather ask questions than find answers, even if searching would be far, far quicker, much less embarrassing, and waste a lot less time and grief for other people who can't believe they actually just asked what they did.

We're living in what future generations will (hopefully) refer to as the Stupid Ages. Of course, I'm pessimistic and believe that, at best, Idiocracy was an only slightly exaggerated look into the future of our kind. Part of me also wants to believe we're already there and that Idiocracy wasn't exaggerated in the slightest. We have people who think electricity is a liquid, that most people in Europe don't know any English, they find the human form to be an abomination unless it's being gibbed, and we have governments mandating the destruction of Kinder Eggs should someone have the nerve to attempt smuggling one into the US.

Also, young children being put on no-fly lists. These are wonderful times we're living in. I recommend trying to find as many ways as possible to take advantage of human stupidity, it'll make coping with this much more pleasant. ;)


Back in my day, they used potentiometers, had no buttons, and only went two directions (yet there's still no better way to play paddle games!).

In my defence I can only say I'm still below average GOGer's age ;)

Back in my day, Gaming didn't requite 10 bazillion accounts for everything

Back in my day gas was 99 cents a gallon. I could drive in my Ford Festiva for 2 weeks without filling up.

"Back in my day all we needed was 64 GB of RAM" - a "Back in my day..." from the future :P

That is Mother F***ing AWESOME!

So when you was young there were no pedophilles but when you grew up there are?
Coincidence? Make your own conclusions...

Back in my day : We played kick the can and had crab apple wars with the kids on the next block. We left home on our bikes as soon as we could and didn't come home till dark. Had jobs before we were 14 and earned the special things we wanted.

Back in my day, there were six channels on tv: NBC, ABC, CBS, two local UHF ones, and PBS. And there were no remotes. That was a high-tech gadget that came out later.

The first one we had was wired to the television.

Back in my day..

'We used to live in a shoebox in middle o' t' road. Each day we'd go and work 25 hours down the pit, pay pit owner for privilege of working, then we'd come home and father would slice us in two wi' breadknife, then dance about on our graves singing hallelujah'

Well taken, Concord...props to a Python fan

Back in my day, we didn't need for things to make any sort of sense. We did things because they were awesome.

Giant transforming robots? Yeah, who cares if they look realistic, they're robots that transform, and thus are awesome. And some will turn into dinosaurs? Who cares if that makes any sense in a modern world. Giant robots that transform into dinosaurs are freaking awesome!

What? Aliens? Both sets of them? And they crash land on what is a far future Earth? One are cats, the other are mutants? I like it, tell me more. The hot cheetah lady will be stark naked for the entire first episode? Now you're talking my language.

Ah, how I miss the 80s...

In my day...wait it still is.
