Guess I was born in the Olden Days

Noah: How old do I have to be before I can get an email?
Mom: Ummm...ten.
Noah: What?! Not 'til then??
Mom: I was going to say twelve.
Noah: But how old were you when you got an email?
Mom: Nineteen.
Noah: Oh...wait a second. Why did it take you so long for your dad to get you an email address??
Mom: Because it didn't really exist before that.
Noah: Oh.
Mom:  I was born in 1972, so...
Noah: Whoa!!!
Mom: So in 1980 when I was your age, the internet didn't even exist for everyday people. It would be another 17 years before we ever bought anything online.
Noah:  That is CRAZY!!

Noah, Age 8
