Technology is compressing time - you say 'LBJ', teens think LeBron James

what so cultural references change with time?....who knew?...this is a story why?...Omni-Slash

I felt a little old when my friend's cousin asked us what a VHS player was :(

Although I didn't think of anyone when I read LBJ. Actually, I read it wrong and thought of LJS instead.

I was born in 93' but I'm more like the generation of my parents and some cases even my grandparents.

Nothing comes to mind when I hear LBJ. Lebron ain't that important.Shottayouth13-

Especially not after he choked against the Mavericks.

If you really want to confuse him and blow his mind you should try to explain what a Laser Disc was. :P

Of course LBJ makes us think of Lebron James because he is the best basketball player in the league currently.

Incredible. So this article is saying that children who grew up recently grew up in a different time period than people who grew up in a different time period? I would never have guessed.

I was born in 86, so perhaps i'm one of the last generations to actually remember a childhood without a home computer and the internet.

Weird, I was born in 85 and remember always having a computer and internet(prodigy).

I'm pretty anyone today would think LBJ is LeBron James and not some half assed president no one likes lolToriko42

why does it matter?

all that means is you have to spend 1 extra second clarifying that you meant Lyndon B. Johnson and not lebron james. ohh no!

Yeah, I think of LeBron James too, but thats only because the media always crams him down our throats :x

I'm looking at you ESPN

When I go over the list of things from this years Beloit list the first thing that comes to mind is: :| then :? then :o then :| I wonder how the world will go on. LOL. No, but when I read on the class of 2002 list of people born in 1980, which is slightly younger than I, I knew almost everything on there. Either that small time made THAT much of a difference or I was just a cultured kid I suppose.

I don't watch enough sports, I suppose.

LBJ - I thought Lyndon B. Johnson. Yes? Do I win something?

MissLibrarian

Daisies, pink daisies at that.

And?

Times have changed.
