I'm 25 and I remember being the remote for the older turn-knob TVs. I remember my Grandma still had one of the rotary dial phones, and we used it (it was green).
I remember gas was $0.89 / Gallon when I started driving, and $10.00 was all you needed to drive a week. I remember when you could buy cars at the dealership that didn't have radios, A/C, or power steering and ironically got the same mileage as the so-called efficient hybrids today.
I remember our school's first computer lab. It was a collection of old 3-color (at best) Macintosh PCs. We used to run to get one of the few that had a mouse! On the fancy ones you could play Oregon Trail. I remember just buying bullets and killing everything in sight.
I remember having to get good grades for a long time to get a Nintendo (the original one) for Christmas back in the 80s.
I remember cassette tapes. They were cheaper than CDs, but you had to rewind the damn things.
I remember when MTV had the claymation interludes, and actually played nothing but music videos.
I remember corporal school punishment, and to this day I can walk to the asst. principle's office, recognize him, and give you his name because of it.
I remember playing baseball, and the objective was to win and have good sportsmanship, and those that couldn't hack were never around the next year.
I remember running to Roger Clemen's number in deep center-right field at Disch-Faulk for baseball warm-ups, and playing on the field in 130 deg. temperatures with Coach Gus.
