Okay, I'm like facepalming on some of this because I'm a slight bit older than Olivia- but also a child of the '80s. Hahaha- it's all good though. It's just funny how you can remember being a kid and gasping at how your parents had to get up and cross the room to change the channel on the TV and all these kind of typical "back in my day" type scenarios- and then you realize that you're seeing the same thing with younger kids gasping at how you used to have to dial up to get on the Internet and everything. And let's not even talk about floppy disks back when they actually were floppy!

Floppy Disks were actually floppy?

See? I knew that was just opening a can of worms.

Wow and they're still around?    

[MacGyver]

Yeah- they are not much in use anymore- but you can still use floppy disks for file storage. I still have many 3 1/2 inch disks around. The 5 3/4 inch ones fell out of use somewhere in the early '90s - but I do still have a Ninja Gaiden PC video game that came with both a 3 1/2 inch and 5 3/4 inch floppy disk for installation. Copyright 1990 - awesome!

Hey- so does Canada not use the metric system then?

We do but my parents learned the imperial system so it rubs off on you.

Not very well, no. You remember dial-up internet? I sure don't.

I remember dail-up and I'm not even 18.

Now that you mention it, I do sort of remember having it.

[AlwaysAJoefan]

I have dial-up.

I do too, and I'm not even 15.

[Hardy Boys UB Fan]

I have dial-up. 

How can you be on here?

I do too, and I'm not even 15.

I'm so glad that most of us don't have to use it anymore! The sound of it dialing in creeps me out! Think of the phone bills our family would be getting! I wouldn't be able to spend hours on here that's for sure. And using YouTube? Forget it!

What do you mean?

[Hardy Boys UB Fan]

What do you mean?

You said you have dial up. I guess I thought it might tie-up your phone line.

[AlwaysAJoefan]

You said you have dial up. I guess I thought it might tie-up your phone line.

It does. But the phone doesn't really matter to me or my parents.

I know mine would be a more concerned--if we still had dial up, that is. Can you not get anything faster?
