Sic transit gloria mundi

 This meme I saw on the internet is rather sad, really.


I mean, there are a lot of things in here I used every day and to think that they're now museum pieces is downright depressing. I've never had an AOL address, though, so I win there. Mainly because I've had the same yahoo email address for 27 years now, but that doesn't show my age at all, right? And I think I've only ever slept on a waterbed once. And I'm not American, so I've never written in 'cursive' as the writer of this meme understands the word, probably. Does that mean I'm still young? Answers on a postcard.

I think outside the US what we call cursive you call script. I was taught it in one year of primary school but all I remember is how to sign my name. I grew up in the late 1990s and I used most of these items as a child. I've heard through the grapevine that AOL email addresses still exist (and Hotmail email addresses). My own oldest still in use email address "only" dates to 2012 when I created it as a university student for an online game.

Only if you live to 250.
