The generation game"Touch my bum, this is life", glowers Richard "Interw3bz" McBeef. I was recently asked "What colour was your hair?", which made me feel well old. Tell us about moments when you realised you were knocking on a bit. Conversely, perhaps you are a sprightly young whippersnapper who is exasperated by the older folks: do tell.

I showed my kids a cassette the other day.And asked them to guess what it was. My eldest suggested it was a dvd. It was then I realised that they don't know what dvd is either. All my DVDs have been in storage since they were ripped to the plex box and everything else has been streamed for years. We stopped watching TV and switched to Amazon Prime and Netflix. The only physical media they can identify is a USB memory stick. I feel old at first, but then I think about Mcbeef desperately trying to convince his sprog that the sound quality on the Edison wax cylinder phonograph he bought in his 20's when it first came out, is loads better than high resolution digital audio. Then I feel loads younger again.

For your next trick you should get a floppy disc and tell them you've 3d printed a save-button.(
