Here's another indication of age:

When you're younger, everyone seems older. Actors, athletes, musicians, models - almost everyone you see in pop culture is older than you. Eventually, you start to get to a point in life where everyone is around your age (more or less).

And then you hit the point where you wake up one day and suddenly realize that almost everyone you watch in movies or shows or videos (or porn) are all younger than you. And in some cases, way younger than you.

It's like how in Doctor Who, the TARDIS was based on the Police Box because it was something that was all over in England in the 60s, so it made sense as something a time machine might disguise itself as to blend in.

Now if anyone in the UK sees a picture of one, they immediately think of Doctor Who first, and some people don't know as anything other than a TARDIS. Because there's only a few of them still left around in random places.

In the same vein, people today watching movies where Superman changes in a phone booth or Bill and Ted travel through time in one may have no idea what the hell they're looking at, because phone booths don't really exist anymore.
