I'm younger than the hills!
...55 actually. I was going to submit rgG's Star Trek example too. Actually, for me the thing that clearly separates me from younger people is that I clearly remember Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon and most of the people I work with weren't even born yet, and think of moon exploration as ancient history, the same way I thought about Captain Cook's circumnavigation (except that we've never gone back to the moon but I've lounged on the beach in Tahiti).
