I think I’m handling it quite well. I haven’t cried yet.

I’ve had people tell me that 30 isn’t that old. But, I remember a time before the internet.

I remember there being only 4 channels.

Shit, one of my first TVs, didn’t store the channels…..if you wanted to change to BBC1, you had to retune every time. It was just a dial, that 90% of it was static, and you’d feel like you were cracking a safe, where every now and again, you’d hit upon a channel.

I remember when stations closed for the night. They turned off…stopped transmitting.

I remember when email addresses were GIVEN to you….you didn’t choose it, it was a number, like a phone number. No hot_guy_69@whatever.com…you were 1316462006978@compuserv.com

I remember when THIS was the pinnacle of gaming technology ( I had a Spectrum +3 )

I remember getting milk at school.

I remember you had to be actually in the house to make a phone call! I remember not being able to use the house phone and the internet at the same time!

I remember when I could go into HMV without thinking “Do they have to play the music so loud?”

I REMEMBER WHEN EDDIE MURPHY WAS FUNNY! 

I remember seeing Jurassic Park in the cinema, first week it opened. It was a PG13 and I was 11. I snuck the fuck in and to this day, I still jump at the same fucking bit ( raptor snorting on the glass ).

I know I’m not the oldest person on Tumblr ( That’s Doug, surely ¬_¬ ) but, I do feel old. Or maybe, just a lot has changed in the last 30 years. Maybe other generations wont feel like this, because the change wont be as noticeable.
