   Similar situations exist.  For example, the hobby of   
   Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) in its earlier years, before the   
   technology explosion, always attracted young people.  In the   
   50s & 60s, high schools often had radio clubs where young   
   kids, mostly boys, would study to pass the test for a ham   
   radio license.  Fast forward to 2007.  Today, the amateur   
   radio hobby consists of senior citizens, old white men in their   
   60s and 70s who constantly talk about the 'old days' of ham   
   radio.  Today's Ipod generation is into high-tech.   My point?   
   Society continues to evolve.  Some things are left behind to   
   history.   
      
   I still think a girl in a wide poodle skirt is pretty, but today's   
   girls think pretty is walking around Walmart with their   
   breasts half exposed and a bare mid-riff.   Times and values   
   change.
