A whole generation has no idea what a B side is, or the shameful thrill of really awful album art.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I remember having one of those "read-a-long" books which came with a record. "When you hear Tinkerbell's magic chime *chime*, turn the page."

I remember seeing them. I don't think I ever had one. We were pretty precocious readers, though, so it would have been a waste of money.
Like cable.

I remember moving to Tennessee into a brand new subdivision that didn't offer cable. So my parents got one of those huge satellites that sat in our back yard. You could watch it move as you switched between the "East" channels and the "West" channels.

I remember not having cable AND the day Fox debuted in Nashville.
I remember not having a cell phone and loving every minute of it.

Yes, but do you remember how nice it was when you didn't post on the internet?
46. Most phone calls have never been private.
Call me ancient, but this one bothers me. If I am out with friends and I take a phone call, I step away from the group so they can continue whatever they are doing. Otherwise I'm asking them to be quiet so I can hear. To me this seems very basic: it is basically not interrupting someone else. I was curious if this was a general rule of politeness, so I looked it up. Miss Manners said I was right, but that was some time ago.

My glee at seeing the introduction of a 3rd TV station was surpassed only by the introduction of ColoUr TV.
Now I can watch over 50 TV stations on my iPhone wile sitting in the pub.

So, does the phone count as another TV on which you have to pay a tax over in Her Majesty's playground?

I also (reluctantly) gave in to Rupert Murdoch's **** corporation by subscribing to Sky TV as it's the only way of seeing good Cricket Coverage and getting a range of HD channels.

I figured that comment was based on the perception that the government was rampantly tapping into random phone calls, but I'm probably wrong.

I grew up with the tick-tick-tick and ever so faintly bruised forefinger of using a dial-face telephone.
When I was 8 my Dad gave in to me asking to learn to use the record player. He threatened me with the wrath of God if I harmed the diamond chip stylus, or scratched up the records. He showed me how to handle the rcords on teh edge, delicately lower the stylus down, and up, and how to use the soft brush dust wiper while the records were on the turn-table. After he had determined I could handle it all without scratching stuff up, he let me loose on his Rolling Stones, Supertramp, The Beatles, The Band, and Joan Sutherland opera collections.
When I was little we got out first colour TV. We hung onto it forever, and only ever had the one TV in the lounge room. No TVs in bedrooms or the kitchen for us. It was about the size my alarm clock face is today. Everyone finally got a new TV when my parents divorced while I was up at uni.

For you nostalgic Mac users, there's an app to make your computer sound like an old typewriter.
I imagine it's a big hit with the steam punk set, assuming that fad is still around.

Yeah, too bad there's no demo wav file there.

Hell, I'm so damned old I can't remember anything.
Oh yeah, I learned to touch-type type on a typewriter in Year 10. Dear God, wordprocessing programmes on a computer were such a godsend after those foul things.
I'm convinced that old fiction books are generally half to a third to a fifth the size of modern fiction books merely because it took so damned long to bang something out without easy error correction.
