We are spoiled now, for sure. If you really had to go back, you would be miserable. I’m thinking of the cars ... ridiculous contraptions! ... But we loved it that way!

Totally true.

Much as I think that the '50s were oh so awesome, if I had to go back then I'd enjoy it for about a couple of days.

Then I'd get so bored.

I could hang out with Archie and Moose at the malt shop, but then where is my internet?

Where's my Netflix streaming?

To keep up on the news, I'd have to rely on, GASP, newspapers.

At least in 1956, there were enough WWII vets who knew about, and rejected communism.

So there's that.
