Why You Weren't Born In The Wrong Decade

Do you know someone who clutches their Urban Outfitters vinyl records while listening to the Beatles on a white iPhone 5 swearing that they were born decades too late? Here's a list of reasons(despite the obvious ones like women's suffrage, equal civil rights, etc.) you can tell them they're wrong.

Cell Phones

Do you know how people communicated before cell phones? Because I don't. I assume it involved carrier pigeons and messages in bottles and a lot of grandma yelling on the rooftop.

Could you imagine going back to the 1800s and showing someone a picture that moves on a computer screen? They'd be all like, "Woah, why are you dressed like that?!"

The Internet

It's pretty great. You're reading it right now. We wouldn't have Buzzfeed without it. Thanks, Al Gore.

Tina Fey

I, for one, do not want to live in any time period that doesn't have Liz Lemon.

Netflix

She knows what's up.

Instagram

Getting that proper vintage look to your photos before Instagram took about a bottle of Vaseline and 40 years of aging. Isn't it easier just to pick a filter?

Sriracha

The American kind in a bottle with a rooster on it wasn't mass-produced until 1983. Could you imagine how good Julia Child's cooking show would have been with a litte sriracha?

Harry Potter

Since 1997 we've gotten 7 wonderful books and 8 terrific movies. Meanwhile people in the 1960s have no idea it's Levi-OH-sa, not Levi-oh-SA.

Really

How could you want to miss this.

Zac Efron

Or this.

Definitely not this.

So no, unless somebody wants to miss out on all this(not to mention central air and indoor plumbing), they definitely weren't born in the wrong century and can feel good about living at the best possible time.
