When was this person born?

[Rudi]

These stats show how life and technology is speeding up at a steadily increasing rate!!
Its actually quite scary how fast things are moving/changing around us.

You might think the person illustrated below sounds old ... BUT you may just be surprised!

I was born before:
' television
' penicillin
' polio shots
' frozen foods
' Xerox
' contact lenses
' Frisbees and
' the pill

There were no:
' credit cards
' laser beams or
' ball-point pens

Man had not yet invented:
' pantyhose
' air conditioners
' dishwashers
' clothes dryers
' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
' man hadn't yet walked on the moon

' There was no computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
' Peoples lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
' Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends -not purchasing condominiums.
' There was no FM radios, tape decks, CD's, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
' Big Bands were common music on our radios.
' Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
' There was 5 & 10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
' Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all 5 cents
' And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your 5 cents on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
' You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600 and petrol was 4 cents a litre

In the day:
' "grass" was mowed,
' "coke" was a cold drink,
' "pot" was something your mother cooked in and
' "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.
' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,
' "chip" meant a piece of wood,
' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and.
' "software" wasn't even a word.

How old would you think this person to be?

Spoiler

This person would be only 61 years old, Born in 1952..

Nostalgia again?

Television was invented in the late 1920's, and Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. According to Wikipedia, "the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by Willis Carrier".
So this person has to be at least 112 years old...

Moreover, I don't think there has ever been a time when "Peoples lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense".

Hmmm...think squat of all info received by email until you research it first....
To be honest, I did wonder about that penicillin insert, but then I shrugged it off to pasturization

Catch up Rudi - it's 2014 in the rest of the world?

I don't think there has ever been a time when "Peoples' lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgement, and common sense".

About the only thing that some people might disagree with about that statement is its use of the Oxford comma!
