I’ll tell you what makes me feel old:
When I was a kid in the 70s, everybody was talking about the year 2000, and I kept thinking “That like in 25 years, it’s like a quarter century. It’s like in forever!”
2000 was 25 years ago, and it felt like it half a century went by in the blink of an eye.

Things had “2000” in their names to make them sound cool or futuristic, like Video 2000 or Windows 2000.
