I grew up with commies trying to nuke me, newfangled touchtone telephones, tvs with UHF and VHF knobs, VHS and mixtape cassettes, saturday morning cartoons, video arcades and pinball machines, DARE/McGruff, staying out until the street light came on, pay phones, and a whole host of other things the "millenials" have no experience with.

They're from an entirely different planet with on demand access to everything, "terrorism" / "zero tolerance", and an always-on, always-available social and informational web with unlimited information. They sure as hell didn't spend $2000 on Encyclopedia Brittanica or learn the Dewey Decimal system and Card Catalogs.. or buy their stuff from the JC Penney catalog..
