I remembered quite distinctley in the 60's when we had our first touchtone phone installed and you no longer had to use those stupid rotary click, click, phones anymore. I sat there all day pushing the buttons on it and was totally fascinated by the key tone sounds.
Also remember getting our first color TV and thinking how amazing it was that they could transmit color just like that after watching everything in black and white for so long. No remotes back then either. If you wanted to change channels you had to get up and turn the dial manually every time. We only had the 3 major networks back then and 3 UHF stations.
I also remember going to the Worlds Fair back in the 60's and they had an incredible display auditoruim showing what things would be like in the future. It was fascinating and much of those predictions came into being.
