you might be old if you remember before there was MTV.

You might be old if you remember shows like 8 is enough, the partridge family and the waltons.

This is very interesting. Those days, probably would've been very fun for me. Not like they are, but technological breakthroughs seemed exponentially more exciting back in the day.

You might be old if...

you ate your Wheaties every morning, without sugar, and liked it.

your groceries were retrieved by a store clerk behind the counter.

you ever remember calling a highway by its name, not the number assigned to it.

I'm only 20 and I remember that.

I remember that because we still refer to highways by their names here in Australia.

Some have numbers that we call them by, but a lot of others are named.
