Eisenhower was president when I was born. I say that to my daughter's friends and they reply, "Who? Did he come right after Abe Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt?". Yeah, sure. Now go back to your I-phone.

I actually think knowing how to work an iPhone is far more important and relative to our youth than knowing when Eisenhower was president.

Do you actually know all of the presidents from before you were born, too?

Just turned 23 yesterday. Here I am a year later after joining this site with a horrible hangover: it's the anxiety and depression that I can't deal with. I think I'm finally going to attend an AA meeting tomorrow; I never want to feel this way ever again.

I agree. My brother and I tried so hard to give my parents a computer and teach them how to use the internet back in 1998. They would have none of it! "The internet is the work of Satan" they would say.

Well, fast forward 15 years and they are both 84 years old and are clueless about anything in todays world. Cant even use a cell phone. They let the world pass them by because they were afraid of progress.
Now a day's they are just lost, and they admit it. They still refuse to learn how to use that "new fangled internet".

That mindset drives me crazy~!
