1. Yes and No.
2. Probably, but I can't remember much from that far back.
3. I didn't pay attention to the news much when my age was in the single digits, so maybe 9/11, but even then, I only knew a tiny bit.
4. Very much yes.
5. I'm Australian, so we learnt Australian history. Most of it about the colonization of Australia by the English or World War I.
6. Nope.
7. I don't remember them from the past, I remember them from the present. Being a Video Game collector, I have a few 5 1/4 inch floppy games that I can't play, like Lemmings 2. I had a Windows 3 computer that had a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive, but I didn't know what it was for. Being the stupid kid that I was, I got a CD stuck in there hoping that it was a CD drive.
8. Beats me. I can say that it's a rare event though.
9. Hard to say for sure. I liked a lot of cartoons, but I didn't really "fall in love" with any individual shows until much later, when 4Kids' over-edited and over-censored anime came into my life. So probably Pokemon or Digimon.
10. Yes, yes they do.
