Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And if you had a 3 inch floppy

... you just hoped nobody ever found out
 
This made me wonder what the folks thought that saw the Wright brothers do their thing the first time and then the moon landings.
I never thought to ask my folks and don;t know of anyone else old enough to remember both.
Just a random thought.

Dun-I used to live neighbors to a lady that lived to be 103. Her mind was sharp till the end. She came here in a wagon with her parents. She was a ball to talk to,since she could remember all those things. She saw the Graf zeppelin fly over. Could remember when cars and airplanes were a novelty and when she saw her first one. Wish now I would have recorded her stories- That old girl was a hoot.
