Thread: Born in the 50's, 60, 70's...stuff we grew up with!

Found this, very interesting, I certainly remember most of this stuff, especially the 130 in 1 electronics kit!! Definitely was a different time, think I'll leave it at that:

Anyone who was BORN in the 50's - 60's-70's...We are the last generation who played in the street. We are the 1st who played video games & the last to record songs off the radio on a cassette tape. We walked over a mile w/no worries on being taken...Learned how to program the VCR before anyone else...Played from Atari ...to Nintendo...We are the generation of Tom and Jerry/Looney Toons & Captain Kangaroo...We traveled in cars w/out seat belts or air-bags & lived without cell phones. We did not have flat screens, surround sound, iPods, Facebook, Twitter, computers & the Internet...But nevertheless we had a GREAT time!

Thanks for the memories!

Ahhhh, those were the days. Now a days as a smoker, I remember when we'd go on a trip and my Dad would smoke in the Airport, on the Plane, wherever. Not saying it was the healthiest world but it was a world without fear…lol.
And the good ole Dyno Labelers…I had tonnes of fun putting my name on everything…lol

I remember 8 track, LP's, 45's, cassette tapes. Cartoon's were on Saturday's only and early in the morning if you slept in you missed out. Disney was on Sunday nights. Shows - The A-Team, Knight Rider, Bionic Man, The Incredible Hulk. I seen my first computer in 4th grade, a monitor and keyboard were all one unit and a black & white screen. I had a video game called Intellivision.
First Movie I went to was in 76' it was Star wars. Hmmm...... seat belts were still an option I believe.

Don't forget Speak & Spell! I would hold down the R key-Great times.

I still remember watching TV in B/W as a kid. Zorro, John Wayne, Tarzan, Daktari,... Sure has been a ride since.

Geez Phrank, as if I don't feel older than dirt already. ;

My dad will be 99 this year and he has seen the world change from common usage of horses to the first cars and two major world wars and the early days of electricity and the beginning of radio and none of the labor saving devices we have now like washing machines and electric refrigerators and fans and A/C and I can go on and on. So you guys born in the 50s on think you have seen change?
