when a joke about fatty arbuckle or any other historical figure results in a blank stare.
when you remember when the news actually had news instead of being TMZ-lite
if you remember when food was triple the size and half the price it is now
when you refer to tv as "the idiot box"
you see people walking through the mall in pajamas and slippers and are aware that not too long ago people were wearing suits, ties and hats even to baseball games
remembering when people didn't revel in being ignorant. i'm sure theres always been some of that but lately its become perfectly acceptable to be dumb.
when you spell check and properly word text messages before sending them
when pop culture feels totally alien
for the record i'm only 34 but everything already feels completely different compared to when i was growing up.
