"16 years old when the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 was launched"

That's the last topic on the list that I DO remember.
I listened to Sputnik on my SW-receiver the very first day.

Puts a bit of perspective on life, doesn't it?

Now don't take any offense here, but...
Makes me feel old knowing that I was already 2 when the space shuttle exploded...
But at the same time...
I feel young when I look at/hear about other people who were alive when, say MLK Jr. was assasinated...
I guess time is relative.
Spend 5 minutes doing homework and it seems like 5 hours.
Spend 5 hours with a pretty girl and it seems like 5 minutes.

"Puts a bit of perspective on life, doesn't it? "

Oh, sure - but I just wonder that the list doesn't include the invention of the semiconductor (the transistor)
