Do you ever notice how the 90's was so much different than our era now? like they had those tiny cellphones and beepers? and there was a cellphone just no texting? and yes there was the internet but no face book or twitter? isn't that strange?

I always have fun asking kids questions like what was used to warm things up before the microwave. I have a few old rotary dial phones and I take them to schools and ask the kids what they are and how were they used. Most realize they are phones but few if any can dial a number. I once took a portable, manual type writer in ans ask the kids in third grade what was it. I was told it was an old computer  "keyboard" without a monitor. A WW2 Army Walkie Talkie was described to me (by a 6th grader) as a large cell phone without texting capabilities.

Whatever happened to phone boothes, then beepers progress come along way since i was a kid back in the 60s but so has cost. The nostalgia of the pharmacy maltshoppe is gone .idont know if things are better or worse

When I was growing up in the 60's gasoline was $0.29 a gallon, cell phones were unheard of, and the internet was "what kind of net?". My dad bought a car phone the size of a large suitcase, that he had installed in his station wagon (now kind of like an SUV of today). It looked more like a regular house phone (at least the console) and had a phone dial rather then push buttons. Our phone in the house, in the 60's, also had round dials, the tone dialing push buttons, didn't come until sometime in the 70's. The internet is a HUGE increase in knowledge for everyone, something we never had in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Email is killing snail mail (regular paper mail). I send material and equipment orders via email, something I had to go to a pay phone to do bake in the 70's. The advancement in just the last couple of decades is amazing.
