Pretty much the two signs of me being 'old' that hit me hardest were seeing my favorite Atari Games in the retro collection, and hearing my cutting-edge hard-rock favorites on the on the 'oldies/easy listening' radio station.
Oh, and, of course, I disagree with boswd that a kid will automatically necessarily prefer a touch screen in a reader. Depends how they intend to use it. It's not Collecovision vs. xbox, it's real keys vs. fake keys. If the keys are important to them. Maybe they are not, but maybe they are. If they intend to do a lot of searching and look ups, they keyboard may be preferred. It is for me.
Even for the hip youngsters, for example, there are still plenty of popular cellphones with real keyboards, they have not all gone touch screen for texting.
