A few funny things: My mother sometimes acted as a rudimentary caller ID, kind of like a receptionist. As kids, we didn't always want to take calls, so before she answered the phone, she would holler out "Who's here?" I learned the slide rule as an extra-credit project in seventh grade. It was pretty dead technology even then (1973), as this was when Texas Instruments pocket calculators started appearing on the belts of kids we were not yet calling "nerds." In high school, I developed a keen interest in photography, partially because I was in a hiking club and liked to take nature photos, but mostly because a girl I liked worked in the little Fotomat hut at a nearby shopping plaza.

If cursive is obsolete how will anyone be able to read old or historic documents after all of us who can read cursive are dead. I guess we'll have historians that can't read the primary sources. How do you sign legal documents? With printing? Printing is much too easy to forge.

My wife and I are surrounding ourselves with old items for nostalgia's sake. We're both children of the '70's, and we'd go back and live in a recurring loop of the '70's-'80's-'90's forever if we could. The internet has brought a lot of impactful positives, but it's brought a lot of painful negatives too. For every person it educates, it also enables a loon to hurt somebody. At least when people weren't connected it wasn't quite so easy to spread hate and pain in bulk. I'll use a card when I'm picking up things for the house or food, and of course to order stuff online, but I always keep a few hundred in cash on me for deals I run up on from individuals. I also pay any home contractors and my mechanics in cash so they don't have to let the government know what they make off me through bank reporting. The government steals and wastes way too much of our $$$ as it is.

80's arcades that take quarters are back in a big way here in the Seattle area. My favorite is Dorky's in downtown Tacoma. Lot's of families go there and the kids love it. They also play all 80's music.

Awesome video. My junior high life was spent on newspaper movie listings and on the movie trailer phone. lol I miss the feel of pressing down the chunky buttons on a personal cassette player/recorder. I don't remember the function, but there was always pain when 2 buttons had to be pressed down at once.

[@luisreyes1963]

Of all the things I experienced when I was a teenager was going to the arcade & playing games there. I sure do miss those days. 🕹️

And the TV guide in the newspaper! Piggy banks, and counting change lol. I guess it's still possible, but I'm sure with venmo,cashapp, and chime, very few do it. Ohhhh, and the taste of sodas from glass bottles, and searching for soda bottles to cash in lol. I guess in some places they get to do that with plastic and cans, but it just doesn't taste the same.

[@LaManteca76]

We have soda in bottles here in Tx but they cost a little bit more. There's a sweet shop that sells novelty bottled flavored sodas like cherry, generic coke with KISS on the bottle, etc. They're pricey! We can also buy Dr.Pepper & Mexican Coke in 4pks at the bigger grocery stores. In some Mexican restaurants you can order a Fanta or Mexican Coke in a bottle. My Dad used to turn in glass bottles for money. Lol, I found a few he missed in the garage so I cleaned them up & display them in my room.

And the Prevue Network!

@LaManteca76 we have Jarritos here in Kentucky as well. I think I've seen the coke bottles that come from Mexico at some of the mercados here too. I want to say I've seen another brand of soda in glass. I think it's called Jones.

[@LaManteca76]

@@russellburgan9023 How could I forget Jarritos?! Yes we have that as well. I have seen Jones at The Dollar Tree but I've never tried it. Next time I stop by gonna grab one.

I never even grew up in the 80s, but I feel somewhat of a strange nostalgia for it even though I’ve never lived then. I would give anything to have live through the 80s and 90s

[@thatonedudeoverhere]

Omg I remember those old HEB bags from when we first moved to Texas. Also Dell still uses DOS as a legacy tool, also still works better than the newer programs

Forget writing in cursive, people today don't even know what an apostrophe is for or when to use one.

[@jeltoninc.8542]

You even forgot how to use a comma.

[@lurkerrekrul]

The Price Club used to sell a map book that was had all the streets in the state. It was awesome. I loved that book.
