Pay phones?
Those are hard to find nowadays. My grandparents always told me to keep a quarter in my pocket to call home if I needed to.
I'm old enough to remember when it was a dime!
Me too! in fact, when I was in first grade the school gave everyone a card that held a dime and your home phone number!0 -
Going from vinyl, to cassettes, to CD's.
Pong.

I remember when you used to call someone, if they weren't home...you were screwed, no way to reach them at all. That's hard to believe now!0

Typewriters.

Typewriters.
I remember having typing as a subject in HS - you actually had to center things on each line, using math. And you had to use liquid paper for corrections, unless your teacher wanted NO errors or corrections and you would have to retype the whole thing or take the points off.0 -
Skating rink.
They still have those and they do good business. You just will be more likely to see roller blades than skates when you go.0 -
No one has guessed the correct answer yet, but some really good answers.0

Cell phones are the biggest thing I can think of.
I remember about 18 years ago, when I was 18, I got a flat tire on my way home at like 1am. I had no cell phone, so I had walk 4 blocks to the gas station and use the pay phone to call my dad to come and change my tire.0 -

...and then cursing when the DJ talks over the end of the song.Waiting for hours for your favourite song to come on the radio just so you can frantically hit *RECORD* on your ca-ssette tape.0 -

They taught us to change our own tires in driver's ed, so I would have just done that.
Although, since then, every time I've needed a tire changed or a battery jumped, there has been a random man suddenly available to help! lol0 -

I think the call itself might have been a dime (I remember people saying, "here's a dime, call someone that cares", but if I had a quarter, it would account for overtime or if I was in a different town I guess?0 -

Yeah, I'm confused by this. It seems to me the question is looking for anything, not just ONE specific answer.0 -

I'm trying to think of answer that's historic, I wonder if that is it?
I'm tired and can't think of anything historic that took place 20 years ago. I mean 9/11 was only 11 years ago, the Challenger was in the 80's...............................0 -

I get that, but there is far more than one thing that is a "correct" answer to this.
They never experienced George Bush Sr. as president. That is probably not the answer, but it's correct.0 -

How is there a "correct" answer to this question?
Well, the correct answer from the radio station this morning...lol - I think a lot of these answers are "correct" though - just not the one the station gave.0 -
