If I post to this am I dating myself?
I remember party lines, vic 20 computers that ran on tape cassettes (Remember having to type computer codes in that were pages and pages of single line binary codes just to get a simple word processing program? Heaven help you if you made a mistake and had to redo it!) mobile phones that required you to carry a battery pack, automatic transmissions were an option, television came in just a few channels and you actually had to change the channel or volume using a knob, you did math using scrap paper for calculations, spelling without word check, used maps and the atlas, not a gps, the milkman delivered and cigarettes were less than $0.50 a pack at the corner liquor store.
