Why is it that people looked so old in the 50's?

[Aren Jay]

I see photos of kids in school in the 50's or University and they all look like they are 45. I look around now and everyone looks like they are 10.

What happened?

Depends on who you are asking.

If life was easy I don't think it would be any fun.

Things are more "convient" then the 50s... Just the advancement of technology... :dunno:

[hot-rauder]

i believe simply because kids today dont have to work for anything... time in working does age a person. video games dont.

I think a lot has changed, but I can't say that I observed any change unfortinately... being that I wish I was around back then.

But then you would not have driven a Marauder...

Well sometimes it's good to be "old." Look at what we have now: Plastic cars, fake people making millions, crappy music, ipods, remakes. Look what was out back then: Exciting new cars, actors that could act as do many other things, music that proved you could have fun with just 3 chords... exc.

I agree it's a better world and a better time (from my POV) but still I wish new cars came with chrome bumpers and music could only be had on vinyl.

Then again I would probably go insane if it was trendy to like Chubby Checker. Yes I am weird. :P

[Aren Jay]

I wouldn't mind being a fake person making millions.

Who did you have in mind?

It is ok Motorhead350 you would be an Elvis Groupie.

[Motorhead350]

Which Elvis? Presley, Costello, Hitler? Yes there is an Elvis Hitler... crappy name, but good music.

I am more of a Gene Vincent fan and groupie is for girls who follow the artist and last time I checked I wasn't a girl.

I wouldn't follow anyway, I could be like Marty McFly and steal the scene!

Amen bro. I'd trade Almost anything to have grown up in that era. Life actually looked ENJOYABLE. :(

[Aren Jay]

If you look at a picture of students in class in school or University they all look 30-40 years old.

Look now and they look like kids. They also act like childeren now.

[jfclancy]

In the 50's Kids played and worked "outside" without sunblock.
They had polio. "duck and cover" no beetels......
