Used my phone at the local burger shop. One of the teen girls working there laughed at it. "wow, that's so small, does it even work? i think it's time for you to get a new phone!" (FWIW I'm a regular there, so most of the staff know me and we chat while I'm waiting).
"I just got this 18 months ago" I said. It's a 64g SE. She just laughed - "OMG - I couldn't even imagine using that. What is that? An iphone 4?". "An SE, " I replied, and she just had a weird look on her face. I wonder if they'd used numbers on that model instead of "SE" if it would have stuck in peoples' minds more?
It was such a strange thing - 18 months ago was still in her lifetime, and ... I'm not using a Palm VII or some obscure 80s retro thing - it's a damn iphone from 18 months ago, and she genuinely reacted like it was some piece of ancient technology.
She showed me her iphone 6. I showed her Live Pictures on my SE, then commiserated with her that her 'bigger' 6 couldn't handle what my puny "old" phone could do.
Teenagers... youth is wasted on the young :)
