Well, let's see. I was born in 1956. I grew up with rotary phones, B&W TVs, with rabbit ear antennas, no remote, 4 OTA TV channels, that went off at midnight, no computers, no cell phones, no internet. Research for school work was done with real hard back encyclopedias' and trips to a brick and mortar library. If something note worthy happened anywhere, even down the street, it could take days to find out about it. Music sounded like...music.
So, I'm not young, chronologically speaking. I'll just chalk it up to a, hopefully, rare brain dead moment and plow on. ;O)
So you were still born when things were normal, and people had to actually think for themselves, and get off their butts to do something if they wanted it done, and not rely on devices to do it all for them.
