    I remember when people would chat on irc or ICQ or even BBS chat rooms.
    There were only a handful of people in my city of 100k who had access to the internet it seemed. So funny!

    people think I remember stone tablets....lol

    I remember when a "selfie" was not something you could talk about in public...lol

    Selfies are still something I’d find embarrassing to mention in public. As well as taking pictures of my food. People around me would tease me endlessly for that stuff. 😂

    My friends shocked me a couple of years ago saying their social media selfies were chosen from literally hundreds of selfies they took of themselves. I fully admit to sharing selfies occasionally but I take 1-2, MAXIMUM of 3 pics and then choose the "best" of 2-3 I guess? Not dozens or more... It seriously blew my MIND thinking of these average thirty and forty-something women sitting there taking 100 photos of themselves. I can't imagine it.

    That’s hilarious. I can see a couple different ones, but why a hundred? Can people really look that different in the hundred selfies? It seems too time consuming to me. Now every time I see a selfie, I’m gonna wonder how many takes it took. 😂

    - Gas was 19 cents a gallon
    - spanking a misbehaving child with a belt was considered good parenting
    - drinking out of a garden hose was perfectly acceptable
    - doctors made house calls
    - not every family had a TV
    - Most houses (the ones that I saw or lived in anyway) only had one bathroom
    - Alaska and Hawaii were US territories
    (I must be getting old...lol)

    When antenna TV was the norm, and computers used dial up.

    Hows that?

    Power car windows was not a thing. You had to raise or lower them with a hand crank.

    ... a big-screen TV was a 25 inch diagonal measure in a 4:3 format, and we thought 480p analog was awesome.
