I'm 28 and I know how you feel...

I can still remember buying a junky late 60's Zenith TV from a yard sale when I was a kid. The guy said it was 25 years old and I thought that was ancient. Now I'm older than that TV!

I still think of a TV, or VCR from 1992 as being pretty new, but they're 16 years old. The web didn't even exist then.
