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)
Lotus 1-2-3 1981 WordPerfect for DOS 1982 MultiVision 1.1 & 3.1 affordable PIP 1986 OS/2 1986 Windows 3 (386) 1990
There, I think I've made everyone else on the list thoroughly depressed by now. ;)

I do far have more 5.25" floppies than I'll ever find a use for. :-p -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
