Oh wow I just realized these people aren't talking to me any more. They're talking to the new 17-something crowd, and we're just on the periphery. I should have figured that out sooner. The biggest hint is the modern "cool lingo", awkwardly phrased explanations littered with "awesome" and "epic".
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
