Haha, I'm so old that box would contain a typewriter.
Anyway young people like to think they have some control over ageing, like they can be thirty forever. Sorry to say it's not going to happen. There's things you can do to stave it off, but it will catch up with you. When you're young you don't think about it, you take it for granted. When you get old and feel the loss you think about it a lot.
Age caught up with me noticeably at an age older than forty something, but I'm really feeling it now. Forties are young enough where a health regiment of some kind can improve sense of well being. If overweight just getting down to an ideal can help greatly. I've had to battle my weight most of my life and when I can maintain a good weight it makes a really big difference in how I feel.
As far as not getting modern culture, it goes ten feet over my head now. I wish I could live in the the 90's forever.
