Damn I really glad I've had my Ipod since 1981 then

Chris you're retarded, I'm 44 and grew up poor and we had most of those things when I was a kid. I took computer programing and you could email back in the early/mid 80s. I had friends with Intellivision, Colecovision(sp), Commador 64, Nintendo Entertainment System, etc. I bought my first cell phone in the early 90s, could have had fuel injection and electronic ignition back in the 80s, had seen two way pagers back in the late 80s (crude texting), bought mix tapes (Napster), bought a cd player in 1985 or so, we had a microwave when I was a kid, etc... I have no idea what you are talking about...

I was raised by cheap parents. They didn't buy any of that stuff. They had a rotary phone until 1995.

Most people couldn't afford all the latest, greatest electronics.

So even if the stuff was available, most households didn't have it.

Great list.

And I'm with everyone else.... some of these things might have been available "back in the day" but MOST households didn't have it.

I've got one to add to your list...a GPS.

My niece will be 16 Dec 23rd and said she needs a GPS to get to my house! LOL. What happened to Atlas and state maps?
