Ok someone asked for youngsters to get in on all this. I am 19 years old and have seen quite a bit of what has been mentioned here but never really got the full experience. I remember rotary phones (my grandmother had one and sadly enough when it finally died she couldn’t get another one as they had ceased to exist). My parents still have records and a record player (all speeds). I remember when there were no proper computers, just word processors (and the most you could do on it was hit a few keys and get to see something dance on the screen). Forget computers, I remember type writers. I remember when tapes were as much of a rage as MP4s are now (I missed the reel-to-reel days and never saw one). I remember VHs instead of DVDs.
That is all I have for now but thanks for the memories those were some good times (and it helps me remember my grandmother who I sorely miss (she passed away right before my 19th birthday almost 4 months ago)
