I don't think it means you're getting old, necessarily. I'm well under 30, and I use the hell out of history. Whenever I need to do something complex, and I can't figure it out, my solution is often copy/pasted from the web. Bash history is often the only way I can remember which `sed` switch to use, or some complex `grep` operation.
In fact, I use history so much, I increased HISTFILESIZE[0] from 1000 commands to 10000.
