So was I James, but heck, I remember Pearl Harbor, about when the transistor was 
invented & I grew up with tubes.  My first computer had a whopping 256 bytes of 
ram!  But we should let these youngsters muddle about and learn so they can be 
kind to us in our dotage.

The universal thing I widely note, except on most of these lists, is that people 
seem to think 'higher' education is a 16 year thing, when in reality school is 
in session every day they manage wake up still breathing. :)
