Just for the fun of it, I tried these questions on my nephew, who's 32 going on 5. He was so condescending to my gray hair I wanted to smack some courtesy into him. He said I was old.

Had to explain to him what several of them were, and said if you don't know what it is, obviously you've never used it. Rolodex? Subway token? Bank deposit slip?

I wonder what will be considered dinosaur memories 40 years from now. Desktops? Landlines? Paying with cash? Driving a car? Remembering passwords?
