[Chiefmcfuz]

And we continue to add bricks............................

 

[Killerdrgn]

How about the MOAB? Thats pretty cool.
Smart Bombs, or the Joint Strike Fighter?
But on a serious note, how about cloning, or the cure for HPV/Cervical Cancer.

 

[Killerdrgn]

This is really cool too!

Which also leads to the point that there's been a lot of progress with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence with this generation.

There's also progress on "Green" Ideas and cleaning up the messes of previous generations.

 

[Paul B]

That is a cool post. Especially this part

Dubbed the Human Universal Load Carrier, or HULC, the device helps a soldier carry up to 200 pounds at a top speed of 10 mph.

We had that in Viet Nam, only we called them boots :smokin:

Also

But on a serious note, how about cloning,

Yes I agree, we do need more SuperModels

We also.....brought "Sexy Back"

there is no doubt that from a technological stand point we have evolved, PC, laptops, video games, cell phones ETC.
the staggering facts almost 15% of this generation are obese.
I coach both youth hockey and little league baseball and it is sad that some kids have no athletic ability at all.

I grew up in the 60's and 70's I was always outside doing something,
stick ball, roller hockey, football, and games like round up, kick the can, johnny on pony.
I have fond memories of growing up in a primitive world

the sad part is this generation missed out on them

 

[bigyankfan]

I saw a bumper sticker recently that sums up this thread and Paul B's sentiment - it read: "We already have enough young people, how about a fountain of SMART?".

The sad part is, this generation grew up without them

I don't think this generation knows there is an outside :tongue1:
If we took away facebook, I Pods, PCs and the internet, they would all go nuts.
Stick ball, I doubt many of them know what that is.
I remember going fishing, the water was about 10 miles away. I would get there on my bicycle with my friend on the handlebars. The fishing poles, bait and bucket were tied to the bike. Then we rode home with the fish.
There was no "inside" then, unless it was raining hard, then we played pool or something like that.
I grew up in the fiftees and sixtees. I loved it:usa1:

 

[JHOV2324]

we have paintball, snowboarding, skiiing Baseball with real bats and balls and gloves, softball, football, handball, inline skates (these are skates where the wheels are lined up instead of side by side)...skateboarders everywhere, basketball at every park....your eyes are so old you dont see any of this...:lol2: i grew up in the 80's, 90's and i had a hell of time.

"we have paintball,"

We had Viet Nam :irked:

"snowboarding,"

We had sleds, or car hoods if we coulen't find a sled

"baseball, with real bats and gloves"

We invented that but there were not many fields around :headache:

"softball

We also invented that :biggrin:

"Football, handball"

Yep, we invented those also :tongue1:

"inline skates (these are skates where the wheels are lined up instead of side by side)"

Yes I will give you that one, and I do know what they are, I can in line skate and I first skated with them when we invented them about 30 years ago.
I can also ice skate, SCUBA dive and fly a helocopter, I even know how to crash in one. twice :smoker:

"Basketball at every park"

Yep invented that too :wink1:

"your eyes are so old you dont see any of this"

Yes they are but one thing about old eyes is that they were young a lot longer than yours.
These eyes have seen, a lot more of the world than most. They have seen all the Hawaiian Islands, All the Tahitian Islands, most of the Caribbean and Greek Isles along with quite a few Italian isles.
They have seen war, They helped build the Trade Center, then saw them Fall, they saw the start of Marine aquariums, including DSBs, wet drys, Jaubert, SSbs, UGs etc.
They have been on the antenna of the Empire State Building and seven levels under Grand Central Station and up to the tip top of the Chrysler Building.
They have seen Cambodia and Istanbul.
They have been underwater almost 300 hours.
They have seen the Acropolis and climbed the Mayan pyramids of Mexico along with Mt Etna in Sicily and many places in the good Old USA
But most important they have built the New York Playboy Club, Penthouse Magazine, Hustler Magazine and have been on two Victoria photo shoots along with one Miss America Pageant. :biglaugh:

So, yes, you are correct, they are old eyes. Nice and green too
