This might be the last draft class with kids born in the 1990s, next year's rooks will most likely all be born in 2000 or later. Maybe one more year, but it looks like all rookie Jags from here on will have been born after the greatest Jags team ever played on the field. I feel old.

It was evident to me a few years back when we hired some new "kids" at my workplace (around mid 20's).  As I was showing them some of our equipment, watching them attempting to interact with the equipment made it kind of clear to me.

Some of our equipment has "touch screens" which are older and really should be called "tap screens".  I watched them gently touch the screen and even saw one try to "swipe".  I had to explain to them that you can't just "touch" the screen like on their phone, you actually have to "tap" it to do what you want.

I later heard them talking about a keyboard and mouse on a computer that used a "very old ps-slash-2" connector.

There was yet another girl that wasn't real familiar with using a computer with a mouse and keyboard (believe it or not).  She only knew how to use a tablet and a phone for the most part.

The kicker was that during the time that these people were born I was on a Navy aircraft carrier somewhere.  It just doesn't seem to be that long ago, yet it's been over 20 years.  The other thing is I started using computers that required either a tape or a paper loader in order to load programs.
