    I remember when there was no interwebs. In fact, I remember rotary dial phones, coffee percolators, and hand crank ice cube trays.

    Oh, and I had to get up and change the channel on the TV. On which there were only four channels that worked.

    Renting a VCR when they first came out.

    Watching the space shuttle blow up when I was in the 3rd grade.

    Watching movies on reel to reel projectors in school.

    Overhead projectors and transparencies.

    I remember going to CB's Hamburgers in Greenville Tx and getting a burger for 10 cents.

    Also, I remember when a kid NEVER talked back to a parent.

    How about Britannica Encyclopedias salesmen?
