Speaking of datasets, and age, I have a question for younger people. I don't know if you like, or it's politically correct to refer to you as Millenials. I didn't like generation X, or baby boomer.
Here goes, and I'm not trying to make fun of anyone, and I don't belive it's true. Personally, I believe the millenial generation might be the most knowledgable in history.
That said, I've heard some of you don't know what a 45 record is, or how a rotary telephone works?
Some people claim to not to know certain dated things because it's fashionable. I once heard a young Rebublican claim to know nothing about the GOP past. The guy sitting next to her said, "I didn't live through the French Revolution, but I know what happened?" That ended the conversation.
So what the truth?

I was barred from calling my girlfriend at night in my room, and my phone was replaced with one that was broken. My parents wanted me to be able to answer the phone, but the keypad didn't work, so I couldn't dial out. What I could do, however, was rapidly toggle the receiver hook. Turns out the pulse frequency tolerance had a pretty wide range, and I became quite skilled at quickly tapping out her number. That, and the Nintendo gamer hotline. Priorities!
