I am definitely a kid of the new millenium – well actually, thats a lie, I was a kid back in the 1980’s, but I definitely like to believe I’m a kid of the new millenium.

You see I do everything online – I shop for groceries online, I order my music online, book my holidays online, and last year I even managed to process my divorce online.

I have Facebook, Twitter, email, MSN messenger and numerous other accounts that I cannot even remember now.

I have itunes, an ipod, an iphone and a Mac Book. What more could I need or have to prove how young at heart I am?

Well, according to a new online survey, i’m not alone, and actually, my eagerness to join the youth of today actually singles me out as being older than I am.

You see I am actually 26, but the survey ( conducted from a sample base of 5000 people ) reveals that anyone with all the above is typically going to be in the age group of 35-40 – where have I gone wrong? Should I start to sell my new millenium goods and chattels on Ebay, or will that in itself mark me out for being even older?

The reasoning is actually quite logical – to afford all of the latest “must haves” you need to have a higher level of disposable income, which characteristically comes from the age of being 30+. Below that age and you may have the latest Ipod, but are unlikely to have the Iphone and Mac Book as well.

This is all fine and dandy I suppose, and I can just about live with it – but how comes my kids tell me they have to have all of what I have? Surely that makes my 14 year old daughter 35 and above.

Do you know what, I think I give up!
