Are you at an age yet where you feel nostalgic for a certain time in your life,or what things or events would tend to make you feel older (Or Younger!) than a different generation to your own?
As for Me,I'm still getting used to the idea that a Younger Generation is coming along having never known the world without Cellphones and the Internet....
Thanks for Sharing!

Well, my 18 year old son makes me feel old sometimes. He was amazed a few weeks ago that we used to have to type in programmes on the computer in order to play games and that we had to used a tape recorder and a tape to put the games onto the computer too. He also can't remember a time without mobile phones or CDs or DVDs. Whenever I put a video on he rolls his eyes. However, in my own head, I still feel a lot younger than I really am, I'm guessing that's because I still take time to play, watch the clouds and I also gaze in wonderment at some of the most mundane things. :)

I still have my c64 up in the attic! Entertainment Technology has moved on so quickly in the last 20 years or so...Vinyl and record players were THE technology until the '70's,then Tape into the '80's,and CD since then..no wonder there's still old tech hanging around for the young to scoff at..It's only recently I heard sony were discontinuing walkman cassette player production,and I'm still seeing blank VHS tapes at my nearby major supermarket!

I don't feel old at all. I'm 33 but I feel like I'm in my early 20s, playing games with my 7 year old son, arguing with him, getting myself updated with the latest gadgets and my fashion style is rarely corporate but a college fashion style.
Sometime my sister would tell me that I have never aged at all and I still act like their baby sister. But when life is fun and so beautiful like this, how can I ever think of growing old?

For sure, I am at that age. I think I actually want to go back and relive my high school years. Wait . . . what?

No kidding huh? It could be that I went to school in Aussie and I am a little homesick for the land down under.

You can wish for what's in the past,but nostalgia is usually a fairly forgiving place to be- things have likely changed and moved on since then..unfortunately..

I guess I kind of don't feel any particular age! The good thing for me is I don't get hung up on age. When my friends say they feel old or time has gone quick then yes, I can agree times has gone quick since such and such a time or event but, I never feel old because of it as I always say that you should just go about doing what you want no matter how old and just enjoy life!

I am in my 30's but feel much older due to a tumor and chronic pain. There is nothing I can do about it. It just gets very depressing at times to feel so old when i am not really that old yet. Take care.

I feel old though I am 31 years old. I feel that I became old and behave politely. I always used to be serious and behave properly. I don't behave in a childish manner. But whenever I see other old people acting young I also feel young. Wearing jeans and teashirts by old people inspires me also to be like them.

There's a saying that goes "You don't stop playing because you're getting older-you get old because you stop playing!" So You're not one of those who feel jeans should only be for the young to wear?

sometimes age doesn't matter as long as you take care of yourself, drink lot of fluid and eat healthy food, so even if you aged you will still look younger.
