When I graduated there was just talk of computers. A few years later I went to college to learn computer programming and had to use a punch card and give it to the lab person to have my programs run. Candy cigarettes were cool, always gave them a blow before eating them and a little puff of candy dust would come out. Didn't care for the bubble gum cigars much. Mister Ed, Bewitched, I dream of Jeannie, Get Smart etc etc. I bought my first computer around 1983, a Commador Vic 20. Pong! Couldn't believe my parents bought my brother and I that. (We didn't have lots of money). Oh does anyone remember Dawn Dolls, they were so perfect for my doll house. I used to smoke and a carton of cigarettes (name brand) cost $9.99. Thank goodness I quit. LOL, I never had enough money for 8 track tapes so my mother and brother were the only ones in the family to have them. As a pre-adult, I was the remote, we had to reheat food on the stove and I really hated Saturday nights. I didn't have a bedtime because I could never stay awake late. Everyone would come into school on Mondays talking about Saturday Night Live and I would always fall asleep around 9pm on the couch with the tv on waiting for it to come on. Ruined my ability to socialize in high school.
