History does not repeat, it rhymes

A week back, we were talking about millennials. (Millennials are people who are born between 1980 and 2000, according to wikipedia )

I was born in 1981, and as I can see, I’m a split among generation Y (the millennials) and Generation X (people born between 1960-1980)

Why? I have the aspirations and tastes of both Generation X and Y. This may sound like diversified interests and lot of fun. Actually it is not :)

For example, when I saw this advert, it took me to archives of my memory.

Those were the days, we actually had to get permission from parents to watch TV. And TV had very few ads back then. And they were creative, as I can remember. May be I’m over nostalgic.

We got used to the concept of  "sponsors" of our favorite shows like Robin Hood, Knight Rider, Dosthara Honda Hitha, and many Titus Thotawatta dubbed cartoons. 

Back then life was simple with only 2 channels, and that also starting at 330 PM and end around 11 PM? 

I like to re-watch all these TV shows and commercials on youtube, but unlike those days, now I have very little time to kill. 

Here’s the thing, visualize explaining YOUTUBE to a person in 1985.
