Oh boy I feel old now!

I'm 30, and I'm only just older than the CD-ROM, which was apparently
standardized in 1985. So you're easily younger than that. You're only
just older than the USB stick, which was invented in 1999, when you were
2 or 3.

Assuming you were born in 1996, you're younger than:

* 1.44MB floppies (1987)
* ZIP drive (1994)
* CompactFlash (1994)
* DVD (1995)
* USB (January 1996)

Moving on...

* Pentium (1993)
* Linux (1991)
* Every 'Star Trek' series except Enterprise (Voyager, 1995)
* Doom (1993), Doom 2 (1994), possibly Quake (June 1996)
* Red Hat (1993)
* Consumer digital cameras (1994-1996)
* Netscape (the forerunner of Mozilla) (1994)
* Yahoo (1994)
* AltaVista (1995)

There, I think I've made everyone else on the list thoroughly depressed
by now. ;)
