Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 22, 2023

how unfortunately true

Google? You’re older than dinosaurs.

Aunty, You’re older that the whole internet. Probably even older that AlGore hisself.

Google was founded on 9/4/98. So most of us probably are. I know I am.

Ha! I’m older than touch tone phones.

Heck… I’m older than the internet…

I’m older than intermittent windshield wipers

Aunty, I hate to tell everyone this, but when God was a Freshman in high school, you were his Senior advisor. Now THAT is Old!

Not only was I born in the last century, I was born in the first half of the last century.

At least they can relate….

I’m older than Google. I’m also older than personal computers and the internet.

Aunty old? We didn’t get running water or bathroom till I was 14. Old outhouse in back.Those were the days my friend.

If you are older than Googol (10^100)…

i am older than the internet & cellphones…i remember 8-track tapes, 33/45 records, glass bottles for Pepsi & Coke, even remember original formula…there are a LOT of different things i remember; “those were the days”

I’m older than email. I remember back when we didn’t know what the @ was used for.

I saw my first tv when I was about 4 years old. We moved to Texas in about 1950, had the only tv in the neighborhood, and the neighbors came over, sat in rows in the living room, like a theater and watched static, since the area didn’t have any stations close enough to come in clearly. Once in a while the static would form a blurry picture for a moment, and they would spend the next few minutes debating whether exactly what it had been. If they hadn’t put a station in Oklahoma City after a few months, we could have started charging admission and paid for the TV.

I remember my first Tablet. It had all the latest. How exciting it was when Cuneiform had come out of Beta with 1.0. Beat the heck out of Hieroglyphics.

Are you referring to Barney Google???

Kids only know what they are familiar with. Sometimes a trip to a museum is educational, so they can see what they missed.

it’s always fun to see the puzzled look on my japanese compatriots’ faces when i tell them that i’ve lived in japan longer than they have…

So am I Aunty, so am I.

My favorite search engine “back n the day” was Ask Jeeves.

I so resemble that remark.

Me too!
