Us 18 or less are outnumbered by the dozens. I guess being 14 has it's cons.

Oh wait, that's only because I'm usually laying on her hair........

Usually, with statistics, you say i polled 1000 people and most of them were 25-30. You might conclude that most people are that age. But there are self selection artifacts, and maybe the octegenarians don't respond to such polls.

Consider this. There are about 6,000,000,000 people on Earth alive today. Some estimates suggest that over all history, only 36,000,000,000 people ever lived. So 1/6th of all people who have ever lived are still alive. This suggests that a pretty big fraction of people never die. This isn't a statistic from a small sample. This is a sample of the entire population!

This was a good question I think. It's interesting to see the results after voting. I think it's accurate. It seems about right. I just turned 50 in December. I never thought I'd say this, but 50 is no big deal IMO. When doing physical work it just requires more rest days than I would have needed before, but that's about it. Oh, and of course I look older, But I also like being this age in many ways. For one thing, things don't bug me as much. And I think life has a good chance of becoming what I hoped it would be. Seems that's always a bit of a struggle. Bottom line though , I plan to have more fun. That's it ,that's all

Yay, someone my age!

First thing computer related I experienced was the computer we had in my house when I was 3! I played Winnie the Pooh and all those other Disney games on it. My dad also had a big collection of old arcade games like centipede and tank and missle command. Ah, those days...

I work in educational technology, surrounded by lots of tech savvy teachers and students, and have got to say that at 55+ years of age I bring a unique, overlooked and understated skill to my work - plain old common sense. I'm just too worn out to jump at every possible notion that pops into my head.
