wtf?!
i remember all that and im only 31!! :)
we had rotary dial phones, a vinyl collection, they still checked under the hood (ok it wasnt my car's hood) and wore uniforms at gas stations, i was around 10ish before i saved up enough money to buy my own Commodore 64(C) (complete with tape drive, daisy wheel printer, and i even had a couple of game carts for it), and i was 19-20 before i actually had access to the internet (which kids take for granted these days, i had to rush the library with 30 other students all looking for the same 2-3 books on the same topic - sometimes id have to take the bus all the way downtown to the central library just to get a book to finish a project. nowadays you just type a few keywords into google... lucky little shits) .
the TV set had no remote, just some giant brown box on top of the TV you had to click these beige rectangular buttons down on. and that was massive technological progress! -- before that i remember UHF/VHF and frikken rabbit-ear antennas w/aluminum foil just to get 3 channels on a TV set that weighed more than my car.
That doesn't count.
That's Canada.
