Signs of the (Changing) Times

#1: I'm Not So Sure Of That
Got an unsolicited email the other day. I didn't open it- never do. But the title was enough to set me thinking.

Feel Like You're 20 Again
Nah!

#2: No Longer Analog
Best Buy stops selling analog TVs

The nation's largest consumer electronics chain says it has pulled all analog televisions off store shelves. Flat panel and high-definition screens have taken their place.

#3: The Direction of Time Arrow Flies
America's 1st Baby Boomer applies for Social Security

October 16, 2007
WASHINGTON -- The nation's first baby boomer applied for Social Security Monday, the start of an avalanche of applications from the post-World War II generation.

Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, a former teacher from New Jersey, applied for benefits over the Internet.

Casey-Kirschling was born one second after midnight on Jan. 1, 1946, making her the first baby boomer -- a generation of nearly 80 million born from 1946 to 1964.

Maybe I should go back and look at that feel like your 20 again. How time flies when you're having.
