I also remember being able to yell at cops, all pissed off they pulled you over.

No ATM's. If the bank wasn't open, you could not get any cash.

No Facebook or MySpace. If you did not hear of a party happening, you
had to drive around and look for one.

We had to rewind VHS tapes before returning them to the store. Those who
could afford it could purchase a special device solely for rewinding VHS
tapes so as not to overstress the rewind mechanism on the actual player.

We actually knew the names of most all of our neighbors.

Columbia's record club was about the only way to get new albums (on cassette!).
Now, a kid in the middle of South Dakota can get Goblin Cock with a click of the
mouse.

Making mix tapes.

Masturbating to non-digital materials such as girly books or my friend's dad's
Easy Rider magazines.

Hitchhiking.

Getting photos back from the print shop.
 
We used to play chess with people instead of with avatars.

I remember when these were our I-Pods:

Half the channels I used to watch were on UHF.
 
im old enough to remember the first time i seen a twist top on a soda.



also when everything came in glass bottles
 
I remember no electricity and no indoor plumbing, meaning no hot water heater....sooo....when you wanted to take a bath, it was either go to the creek or heat some water in the old black wash pots...which were huge...probably 50+ gallons...and this was in 1953....that's not that long ago...and yes, there was a Sears Catalog in the Privy...

I dont' think you guys have an inkling of how country I really am...
 
I'm not that old but I do remember getting our first caller id at the house, it was a huge deal and it was a separate little box that plugged into the phone and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever
 
I remember when I didn't have to dial an area code to call my neighbor. So I'm young. I can still play. ;) now I just click on there name. 7 clicks to 10 clicks to 1 and no miss dial.
