Lost tribe of Westwood

Short Term Memory had always been associated with older people. This had to be the farthest from the truth. As you get older, you just don't care, but you still remember. Here are some items that back this up
1- Gas prices. Most older people can remember when gas was 21 cents per gallon. Younger people can't even remember what the gas prices were yesterday.
2- Honest Politician. Most older people can remember when honesty meant something. Young people believe that spin eliminates dishonesty.
3- Many older people remember working for a company their whole life. Today people are lucky to get five years in.
4- Remember full service gas station. They filled your car, checked your oil, checked oil pressure, and washed your windows. Today's youth can't even remember to put gas in the car.
5- Most older people remember when a handshake meant something. Today it has to be a 50 page contract because no one can remember.

Ask a person about World War II, an older person will tell you in detail about it. A younger person will give you a puzzled look. Then their answer will most likely be, " That was the war after World War I.

I just thought this was interesting.
