But the ice cream cone wasn't invented until 1904 so you post kind of contridicts itself.Comment

US patent number 808897 was granted in 1906 to Willis Haviland Carrier. The patent was for an ?apparatus for treating air?. Today, Carrier is considered the ?father? of air conditioning. His original intention was to treat air for industrial purposes?manufacturers of certain products struggled in hot climates, the heat affecting production. Carrier, an engineer, was the first person to figure out that you had to control a number of things if you wanted to cool down a building?temperature, humidity, air purity, movement of air, and air supply and exhaust.Originally posted by GatorB
By the 1920s, smaller air conditioning units were appearing in private homes. Theatres, department stores, hospitals, banks, and offices were already using air conditioning?the bigger places used a central air conditioning system devised by the Carrier Corporation. When the Depression of the 1930s hit, not many air conditioning units were sold, but after the Second World War, things picked up.Comment

Let's see 58 years old would mena they were born in 1947
After looking at this list... Try and figure out how old this person would be? This person grew up before there was any of the following:
air conditioners
Well let's see here. And by the way I gave you my answer BEFORE I bothered to look it up. I just wanted to provide a link as proof.
1902 -- Willis Carrier builds the first air conditioner to combat humidity inside a printing company. Controlling the humidity in printing companies and textile mills was the start of managing the inside environments.

So your post said this person was born BEFORE air conditioning. Not before air conditioning was widely used in homes.Originally posted by Vanilla DeVilleComment

Penicillin was invented in 1928 but became popular between 1940 and 1946Penicillin production was quickly scaled up and available in quantity to treat Allied soldiers wounded on D-Day. As production was increased, the price dropped from nearly priceless in 1940, to $20 per dose in July 1943, to $0.55 per dose by 1946.Comment

I think, in the context of the original trivia question, it was meant that central air was not really in use in residences when this person was born. I can see your point, and that the original invention date was earlier, and the wording does make it confusing? I just saw it and thought it to be a fun trivia game; I didn?t do a background check first.Originally posted by GatorBComment

58?Originally posted by Vanilla DeVilleAnd the answer is..... <insert drum roll> 58!!!!! At least according to the triva book that I was reading!!
No way. Something's wrong with that book's info then.
If you're 58 you were born in 1947. Such a person could not have "grown up before" all of those things were invented. TV went live in the early 50's, the polio vaccine was invented in the 50's, but most of what's there is right for that age.
A person would have had to have been born a bit earlier than that to have grown all the way up before everything on that list though.
Interesting to see a few people guess ages like 30 or 40 though. Kind of funny, actually
My parents are both in their 70's, and it's always interesting to hear them talk about the prices of stuff from back in the 1930's and 40's, and how things were during the depression. Puts things in perspective for sure.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

The guy would definitely have to have been older than 58 to have grown up before then.
Most of the rest on that list is pretty much correct however.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!
