Who remembers when:

You actually dialed someone’s number on a rotary phone?

“Hanging up” meant suspendin the phone on its cradle?

The area code for the entire NYC was 212?

The newest recording medium was the eight-track?

Cuomo was governor of New York State? (Oh, that’s right…)

You had to stop at a gas station to ask directions?

There were earphones but no iphones?

Going online meant that you had to wait for the people ahead of you?

A web site was removed with a broom?

A desktop had paper on it, a notebook had paper in it, and a laptop had a baby on it?

A printer worked for the newspaper?

A monitor would tell on you to the teacher if you misbehaved?

A hard drive meant up a steep hill in an old jalopy?
