I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100.
But it also made me think that people only get old when they’re like 80.

I mean like actually “old”. The “old” adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different “old”.

    We had to go to the library and check out actual books, we had to research in the physical encyclopedias

    That was true into the very late 90’s. Heck, even in the 00’s a lot of professors wouldn’t accept internet sources for reports.
