- roostersheep, on 09/22/2009, -8/+622Grandad: Back when I was your age, I had to remember things completely unaided by technology
Kid: You mean, with an unaided brain?
Grandad: Exactly, even important stuff, like where you live, your parents birthdays, et cetera.
Kid: You're ***** me.
Grandad: I ***** you not. Though large documents had to be filed away on a computer.
Kid: I thought you said unaided.
Grandad: Back then, a computer was a big box with lots of 1's and 0's, attached to a screen, and a piece of plastic with letters on it. You had to push each letter individually to form words, then sentences, and then even paragraphs for the computer to remember a thought.
Kid: So you sat there and repeatedly pushed a bunch of letters to record a thought?
Grandad: That's right, and before then, you had to use a pen and paper. Instead of pushing letters, you had to draw them out with a tube full of ink and a pointed end.
Kid: MOM, GRANDAD'S GOING SENILE!
Grandad: No, really! Wait! It's true! You couldn't do it with computers back then because they were too big, you couldn't even fit them into a room.
Kid: That's right, grandad! Big, big, giant computers!
Grandad: STOP MOCKING ME!
Kid: Buttons with letters on them! 1's and 0's, I completely get it!
Grandad: You *****... ...NOOOB! - cated, on 09/22/2009, -3/+50811. No, really, books were "printed" with ink on paper made from dead trees.

- roostersheep, on 09/22/2009, -7/+328It's funny, when our grandparents tell us about their past we thought it sounded boring:
"Back in the war, my best friend stepped on a landmine and I had to take his legs back to his wife." etc.
But our success stories are truly going to be something else when it comes to excitement:
"...So then I unloaded a full clip of lead into his face, but quickly pushed RB while reloading at just the right point, to give him a quicker reload. Those damn grubs. Used to give me nightmares.... I think."
"...and then I tried it in Internet Explorer 7, and things were still ***** up! But I knew it was something to do with that 'clear: both' bit, I knew it in my gut..."
"...and he said 'LOL' so I gave him a piece of my mind, rick rolled him and quickly left the chat room. Otherwise he would've probably made me lose the game... Oh *****, I just lost! You've done it again, you little bastard!" - ziplizard, on 09/22/2009, -2/+313Back in my day the Google Empire was just a lowly search engine.
