When you meet people that have only received junk mail and don't even know how to send a piece of old fashioned mail through the U.S. Postal Service.
"What . . . I have to lick a stamp?"

And you know you are old when you go to do a task but get constantly sidetracked doing other things that need to be done. After going from thing to thing, you either forget what you were going to do or have run out of time.

...a thread bubbles back to the top of the list and when going to click "Like" on a post, you see you've already Liked it.

Heh. I remember when the original Car Talk radio show aired featuring Tom and Ray discussing this, and they named the phenomenon Aging Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AAADD). Does that make me old?

I forgot what I was going to say... nevermind.
Ooops, almost forgot to post this.
OOOOH... I just thought of another one. When you fill out a form on-line and it gets to your year of birth and you have to scroll WAAAAAAAY down to get the right year.

This was from one of their great episodes:
https://www.cartalk.com/radio/letter/andy-letter
You can get a new (old) podcast every week from them. Not the same as listening to a new one, of course, but there are enough (and I am old enough) so I don't remember all of them anyway.
Another car talk show, but not nearly as entertaining or silly, is Under the Hood. Those guys aren't nearly as funny, but they really know their stuff.

They were really awesome. NPRs most popular show and for good reason.

I was sharing the latest happenings at work last night when my wife interrupted me. She said, "Who was that old guy who was your boss when you worked at [corporate name elided]? Ben? Do you know you're starting to sound like Ben? You need to ease off so you don't scare all the younger folks."
Maybe it's time to reconsider retiring...
