So apparently I ordered my Kindle before I was born... or before they were invented...

Its like being able to set your system date to before computers were invented

Computers were invented long before that date.

I realize that but you can change your system date ridiculously long back. Wonder why they even let you do that

I can only set mine back to 1980. First computers were made during WWII I believe?

Pascal's Calc was the first 'computer' back in 1600 something (I want to say 1640s). Then after that you had tabulating machines in late 1800s used for the Census. That's where IBM came from. And tons of stuff in between.

oh I see, I heard somewhere in school that the first computer was during WWII. Maybe it was first digital computer or something, or maybe my teachers are just idiots.

Most teachers are the latter.

That does seem to be the case sadly enough. I'd expect my teachers to know what they are talking about.

Very few of my teachers in high school seemed to know what they were talking about. All the math teachers were a joke. Horrible at there jobs. Same with science, except chemistry, my chemistry teacher was probably just best teacher I ever had. I learned more in his class about everything then my entire high school career.

I find that engineering teachers are generally pretty good. Most are actual engineers. Mine is a chinaman who worked in airplane manufacturing and is working at becoming a pilot.

They had to wait for your payment to go back in time. That took quite a while I'm sure

They'll probably lie and say they attempted delivery every day for the past 40 years but you weren't at your current address.
