Well - I guess you remember we didnt even know what a microwave oven was and a CD hadnt even been thought of
I remember the first time I got to see a color TV was when I was around 12 or so - but they didnt have too many shows that were color at the time.
I got a kick out of a girl I worked with on a project - she had her masters degree from a large La. college in computer science - I was talking to a colleague about the old 45s we used to have the special inserts for to play on a regular turntable - she walks up in the middle of it and asks why we always are talking about guns LOL - she had never seen a 45 let alone heard of them. Of course to her alma-maters credit she also thought Alaska was an island just like Hawaii
I grew up around computers as my dad was one of the honchos with Sperry Univac at the time - and the tape drives and punch tapes and cards were my first playtime to write programs to display a naked chick on a printout
