What did being 18 mean for you?

It meant I was able to make my own choices and I moved out. Didn’t have to answer to anybody.

Being 18 then, what did you do for fun?

I didn’t do anything for fun. I never got to have any real fun, I was never into going to parties and the clubs.

What was the most technological thing you owned and did you use it constantly?

I don’t even think I had a cell phone. I had a 5 changer stereo with all my favorite CD’s and I played that everyday.

What do you think the differences are being 18 then and 18 now?

Now kids have too many technological things. When I was that age I was using encyclopedias at the library. I had an electric type writer and you have computers.
