Do you remember when you wanted to play a game and there was ONLY Atari...LOL
Nope because there was always pong- which was separate from atari- yes I sat for hours on my black and white tv and played a huge game that just had a little square ball bounce back and forth between two lines lol
The time before microwaves... when you had to boil water on the stove and reheat left overs the old fashion way on the stove or in the oven and had to dirty pots
back when computers were awesome if they had like 64 bytes - when there was no windows so no mouse to point and click- and they took up a room to just do some simple math problems lol
back when you had to dial a phone- no push buttons and all the phones sat on a table or if you were fancy you had one that hung on the wall
lol I had old old science books in school and although the moon walk was a few years before this time (but less than a decade) -we laughed becaues it said- "and one day man will walk on the moon"
Calculaters were huge- and when they came out with one that was a "pocket calculater" you still needed a pretty big pocket.
Records- those black disc things played at three speeds for albums, singles and the old 78's... you had to be careful not to mess up the needle or you'd have scratchy sounds... and you could go shop for singles of your favorite songs
I could go on here but this is enough lol- lots of new things- I know my kids are always amazed with the fact that we didnt' have color tv, cable, computers in the house, microwaves, touch tone phones etc... when I was little- and then when my daddy comes out he shares- time without indoor plumbing and more
: Amazing!
