    Back in my day I remember being paid each month with cash $$ for my work, standing in line at the bank to deposit cash, standing in line again to withdraw cash to pay bills and buy goods with actual cash. No ATM, no Debit Card, No Credit Card, No telephone banking, No online banking.

    Back in my day we drank from garden hoses and didn't get sick
    We didn't get participation awards
    We walked the 4 miles into town unsupervised
    A belt across the backside was considered just good parenting
    and if we didn't do our jobs, we didn't eat...

    Back in my day we actually would POKE someone in person. Tag was something we did for fun and social media was when you went outside and did something with your friends and had fun doing it.
