Anyone feeling old yet? If not, try changing your perspective a bit.
"When World War 2 started, the Civil War felt as far away to Americans as WW2 feels to us now."
"The Wonder Years aired from 1988 and 1993 and depicted the years between 1968 and 1973. When I watched the show, it felt like it was set in a time long ago. If a new Wonder Years premiered today, it would cover the years between 2000 and 2005."
"Also, remember when Jurassic Park, The Lion King, and Forrest Gump came out in theaters? Closer to the moon landing than today."
Or how about this one:
"As for you, if you’re 60 or older, you were born closer to the 1800s than today. Today’s 35-year-olds were born closer to the 1940s than to today."
