You and me both (56)...
I certainly remember life without cell phones, trying to find a public

You want to feel old? Try interacting with the Android development
community. The average age of the CyanogenMod community, for example,
appears to be about 14 years. I actually heard one of the CM devs refer to
one of their "senior" developers, who turns out to be 30 years old.

It also seems (anecdotally) true
that parents try to give *their* children what *they* didn't have...
again leading to an oscillation in many dimensions with a time constant
of roughly the age of reproduction.
I often wonder how much of this is perceived oscillation versus actual
