We were talking about this the other day. A friend, soon to be 50, was surprised that a guy and a girl from the group were just a few years younger than him. (He thought they'd be at least 10 years younger, I think.)

He made a comment that 40-50 year old people looked like old men in our childhood and now people of this age really look pretty young, like 10-20 years younger than back then.

And the girl replied that "well, maybe it just shows we're getting old and children and youngsters these days probably see you just as old as you saw those people back then..." :)

But yeah, I had that feeling too. I remember being amazed/perplexed when looking at the photos of people from WW2 or the people on the photos of the 1956 revolution of Hungary (being a Hungarian). When you read about it and see the photos of people executed in their 30's or 40's and they look like grandparents these days. (I'm mentioning the ones executed because those are the ones usually where you know their birth date.) And no, the photos aren't necessarily ones taken at the trials or during the atrocities.
