			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can you believe it&#8217;s the last Christmas of the decade? It&#8217;s unbelievable how fast time flies by. People have always told me that time will speed up as you get older. Then: I laughed with skepticism. Now: I believe them.</p>
<p>Speaking of getting older, my brother sent me this video about kids born in the year 2000 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z">aka Generation Z-ers</a>). It was quite stunning how old I immediately felt within the first couple of minutes of watching. I&#8217;ve joked about being &#8220;old,&#8221;  after turning a quarter of a century (the big 2-5), but I hadn&#8217;t actually <em>felt </em>old until this video. And for that, thanks bro. Love you lots!</p>
<p>To get the full experience of feeling old, I&#8217;m going to let you watch it without me spoiling anything for you.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/IgIcjVhIi_E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IgIcjVhIi_E" /></object></p>
<p>So, how do you feel? Pretty old, huh? If you&#8217;ve already been feeling old, I bet you feel <em>really </em>old now. =)</p>
<p>I knew eventually I&#8217;d get to a point in life where I&#8217;d be able to do my share of preaching to the younger generations about how rough it was growing up in my time, but did I expect it to be so soon? Never. Kids, 9 year old kids, are tinkering with iPhones with music players, internet and media SMS capabilities. I remember having choppy conversations on my dad&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_StarTAC">Motorola Startac</a> cell phone as a kid and thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. That&#8217;s going to be a fun one to tell.</p>
<p>Although it&#8217;s weird and strange, it&#8217;s a pretty entertaining reality that so much has evolved in the last 10 years. If anything, I consider myself pretty lucky to have been born in such a unique transitioning time to witness the development and sophistication in technology thus far.</p>
<p>How&#8217;s that for a Christmas post?</p>
<p>Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day!</p>
