I lived back then, I don’t remember it being simpler, I will say though it was quieter as there were not as many cars and the speed with which information came was slower and less dense but it was all still there!

I believe that growing up in the 70s and 80s, was the best time to grow up ever. The dull but more social but tech less 70s when kids used their imagination more to have fun and then the 80s...tech arrived and we emerged from the dark ages. Consoles computers with INFINITE selections of games and electronic games such as Firefox. Astro wars. Tron. Scramble and Bigtrak and sooo many many more. A great way to spend your time on a rainy day. Microwaves that cooked food in minutes as apposed to waiting ages for an oven to do the job. Despite the recession, it was the place to be. Thanks for sharing.

My dad bodged fixed it but it never worked right. It was so high tech a toy back then.

On Scotch video tapes, there used to be a lifetime guarantee. In the very early 2000s I sent back all my old Scotch tapes from the 80s saying the quality had degraded. They sent me back replacements but warned me that they had now ceased making them. I was impressed.

@@sharpy5550 Funny enough, not me. Yes, the world seems upside down right now and it would be nice to feel like we live In simpler times. But the fact that you and I can watch these videos and share a dialogue is nothing I thought possible in the 80s! That’s got to account for something. And I think we like to want to go back to the time when we were kids because we didn’t have any real responsibilities. We just played Star Wars, got dirty and that’s about it. But our parents were living through a lot of the same frustrations we have now; mortgage, ex-wife, raising children, taxes, Russian aggression… I suggest Steven Pinker’s book the Better Angels of Our Nature for some perspective.

Used to feel like it was Christmas in July when I went to those! 😁 I remember the Game Boy launching at one of those shows.

Voiceover on Toshiba Nicam stereo definitely familiar (well-known 70s actor). My recall is fading. I had a Kodak Advantix APS - might even still have it though it's not been used for years. I remember I had a lot of film cassettes. Michael Robbins in the Memorex ad. I think that's Anton Rodgers voicing the boots ad. Scotch tape ads voiced by Brian Wilde. Another familiar voice in the final ad - but I can't place his name right now.

[@RetroSteveUK]

I remember when I had an APS camera. Thought it was the bee's knees until I saw the picture quality. Great idea at the time, just sub-par quality.

[@garethbramley1]

No zoom or anything - just point and shoot and, yes, poor quality. I still have some prints (the odd few). Most of them were scanned and I have them on the laptop. But they are so, so grainy and the colours were poor too.

It's a lot of work, on an un-monetised channel, but it's a joy to present for the pleasure of viewers, which is motivation enough to keep doing it.
