And yet I had much the same attitude that you have, perhaps for that reason: it bothered me that older people upholded a certain negative view of teenagers. It was an unexpressed view. Nonetheless, now I think I overreacted.

Well, I'm not exactly the person to listen to seeing as how I knew basically nothing on that list, but actually, i'm not *really* dumb... i'm suposedly supposed to be a genious or something, and I don't feel stupid for not knowing a lot of the stuff on that list (even though i probably should, which i'm sure everyone who read my answers would agree with) because I'm not all that interested in the past and I only try and pay attention to things happening right now. at least most of the time. If the list made people feel old, I say it was worth it :-). So, anyways, that's just my opinion...
