1996, wow that was the year the Motorola StarTAC was launched (the world's first flip phone), 10 years before the first iphone was invented.

Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame had the first flip phone in 1965. Though it was fake, it gave someone an idea. Gary

I had me one of those, and I remember being *stunned* at how small it was.

You know you're old when your first Valentine's Day present from your wife is a nose and ear hair trimmer. True Story. #icantakeahint

Back in the 60's when I collected coins if the penny wasn't from the 30's or earlier I considered it "new".

I guess it's all perspective, huh? The second I feel old, someone reminds me that I'm still a kid...
