I actually don't really see forms like that. Not that I find myself filling out forms terribly often, but I feel like it would usually just have four blank spaces for each digit.


You're in America and always a bit ahead of us ;)

I already feel old already 19 or no.  I live in a college town.  If you can remember 1987 -- and I was 18 in 1987 -- you can remember before most of the undergrads were even born!
::)

The "19" already makes me feel old, especially when I wasn't even born in the last decade or two of that century.  :o
And it's hard to believe that my nephew is already 12 (he was born in '00).

I already feel old now. I remember the moon landing in 1969!.

The "19" was an 80s thing :D

Somebody had to do that!

Wow that's pretty old.  :o

Right now the average age of a human being is about 29.5 years so someone born in 1983 is actually older than half the people alive today!  :o Of course this is because places like Africa have a median age in the teenage years, it's not like people born in the early 80's aren't young.  ;D

It will take longer than 17 years I think for the median birth year to hit 2000 though, because world population isn't growing as quickly and people are living longer. I would say by the late 2030s half the people alive will be 21st century born.

To answer your question though, I think 19__ are already starting to become antiquated, though for some reason, years before 1990 seem more antiquated than 1990's years which still look pretty normal. I think by the end of this decade when there's very young adults born in 2000 and 2001 that will change though.

I think, at least the first half of the 90's seems 'antiquated' when looking at the 4-digit-number; so anything before 1995. Probably because it's as good as two decades ago.

Yeah seeing a copyright 1992 on something does give the 'holy sh*t that's old' response a bit you are right.

On a semi-related note, I checked a book out from my university's library once for research...well they have the little card attached inside the front cover where they stamp the due date, and the dates went all the way back to 1977 or something. I was amazed. I think the last before me was 1988, and it weirded me out to know that the book had been sitting undisturbed on the shelf for over 20 years. :o

Somebody had to do that!
;D


It was also a British 1980s thing.  This was a Top 20 hit in the UK, same year as Hardcastle's 19 ...

Trust me, you'll feel "Old" in just a few years, without any kind of visual references.  The way things are being digitized now, I doubt there will be many printed forms by that time anyway.  Some days I feel quite ancient and I'm really not all that old, (43).

I'm almost 40 and I don't feel that old.

I remember getting excited about having the experience to live in a new century at still a pretty young age. Now I've realized, however, if I had been born 20 years earlier, I don't think I would have felt so old if I had been the same age as the century I was born in.

Release in 1974, but sounds more like a hit from 10 years earlier.

From 1991 but could pass as a late 1970s mellow tune, especially at 2:05 to 2:25.

It seems like with many 2000's babies joining this forum, people born in a year beginning with "19" are slowly starting to become a minority.  :P ;D

It's definitely interesting to think about, and I say this as someone who's a 2000's baby myself. Even when I read threads from 2016 on this forum, there were hardly any 2000's babies back then. That would all change a year later. It's weird how much a year or two difference can make. :o

19 is such an ugly number...

19 is such an ugly number...

Well, next year is 2019 so it's only going to get uglier. ;D

I always think about this and I would say that's what makes being born in the 20th century pretty cool!,
