I’m this Old

[JB]

I know @PackersGirl will understand this, as we were both called old by @Canadan today.

 

[GraniteRoost]

Thats not old

#whippersnappers

 

[That post]

Yep, I’m that old too. Scantrons bring back some traumatic educational memories. Multiple choice is the worst.

 

[fuffle master]

Testing the good old days.

 

[russtopher]

I remember making many, many interesting designs on those

 

[Davidhibler]

Wait. Are these not a thing anymore?

Nope

That’s what I said, haha. I had no idea they didn’t use those anymore.

 

[Jason89er]

Ah the old Number 2 pencil.

 

[PackersGirl]

I actually remember going into the library and looking up the book I wanted in the catalog. Or doing a paper by using our encyclopedia set!

sweet lord I hated those

 

[PackersGirl]

Ah the old Number 2 pencil.

I'd still rather use a #2 pencil instead of a mechanical one!

@GolferGal and I were talking about encyclopedias the other day.

Crazy how fast technology has taken off.
We used the same systems when we were kids.

Even though I am a couple of summers younger than you...

Or National Greographic magazines! My dad loved those things!

 

[checkered]

this hits home. I've filled out far more of those than I care to remember.

They were still using those 8 years ago when I went back to school to become an actuary.

Yes, I am a couple summers older than you, but it would be wise to remember that the couch hurts your back....

I remember when the person came to our door to sell us our encyclopedia set.

I also remember taking my typewriter to my friend’s house to write our group book report.

Most of my essays were pretty much changing a word or 2 from whatever was in Funk & Wagnalls. No plagiarism that way.

My first computer

 

[DNice26]

Scantrons…. Lol…

I can remember learning to type and practicing on a manual typewriter.

Do you know now that essays are run through a computer program and given a “plagiarism score” before the TA / Prof ever reads them?

Was just going to say, we still used these in college and that was less than 10 years ago. This is how we did the SATs as well. How did @Canadan avoid these?
