The CD was introduced the year they were born.
They have always had an answering machine.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a
mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane".
They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who
J. R. even is.
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
