    Probably something weak like "back in my day, we had 50 states" or something like that.

    I used to use my older sisters original store-bought cassettes, and put tape over the holes. I'd have s--- like Doggystyle recorded on a Blind Melon tape, and she'd beat my a--- for it then tell on me, and I'd get grounded.

    Back in my day we had these things called 'disks' and 'physical keyboards' and our phones were not on our faces or implanted into our skin.
    Also I know what outside looks like.

    "Well, kiddos, your grandpa Skippy messed around with a looooot of LSD and ecstacy in high school, so he doesn't really remember what 'back in his day' was like"

    I didn't have video games as a kid.. I played with GI Joes, or Ninja Turtles..and tonka toy trucks...and played "house" with the neighbor's daughter. My first system was probably SNES.

    Well I'm incredibly young, some might still consider me a kid, so I've grown up with all these vidja games and whatnot being the norm

    SEE BACK in my day son we used to use this computer it was called n e-mac and i used a programme on there called kid pix it was great and when i was growing up we played with this game system called a sega megadrive and we put cartridges into the slot on the mega drive and were able to play games my favorite game was sonic the hedgehog after a while though graphics improved and a company called Sony bought out what we will call the play station one which had better graphics then the sega and also you didn't have to use cartridges instead we used compact discs the PlayStation one also doubled as a audio player for the compact disc now we have the xbox 8 and the ps10 and the omega virtual reality gaming
