A Day Late And A Dollar Short!!!

all my life i've always missed out on things brought on by new technology simply because of the time i was born. when i was a kid, we had what we thought were some pretty cool toys, but they all required some type of manual manipulation and a lot of imagination. as soon as i became too old for toys, the next generation of kids got all the REALLY cool whirling, beeping, buzzing, transforming, flashing, electronic toys! .......but i was too old to play.........until i had kids anyways(having children is a "playing with toys loophole") so now i'm almost 47 years old and i'm fascinated with up and coming science and technology. i'm watching a show on The Science Channel right now and they're talking about the first manned space flight to Mars. they plan to start the actual training aspect of the mission by sending people back to The Moon in the year 2020. i'll be 57 by then!!! the actual trip to Mars probably won't take place for another 10 years. now i'm 67!!! so while i'll at least probably get to see people land on Mars which is only ONE PLANET AWAY FROM OUR OWN, i'll probably miss out on all the cool technological things that are sure to take place after that. heck.....with my luck, i'll probably die the day before they release the pill that makes you forever young. do you ever think about the things you're going to miss out on because you have to DIE???
