I am old enough to remember -

-The birth of the Walkman, the Discman, and the first mp3 players.
-Forget about Bluray vs HD-DVD, I remember VHS vs Betamax and I also remember the birth of DVD.
-Remote controls had cords on them!
-I remember taping Vinyl records onto cassettes to play in the car. Then came the birth of the compact disc, then the recordable compact disc.
-Everything was cooked on the stove, I remember the microwave coming in.
-There was no such thing as home computer gaming, you had to go to the corner store to play the arcade cabinet. I saw Space invaders launch !
-The first game I played at home was pong.
-I not only remember the first Gulf War, but also the Falkland Island War.
-The choice of petrol was leaded, or leaded. Petrol stations only sold petrol and parts related to cars, most had a full time mechanic.
-No such thing as a mobile phone as a kid, we had to find a phone booth/box if you had to call home. But you never needed to, because it was perfectly safe and your parents never worried if you disappeared for hours on end.
-Cars had two safety features. Brakes and seatbelts.
-Michael Jackson was cool.....................and black
-There was NO internet, no facebook, no myspace, no youtube.
-You met people by going out
-No email or faxes. If you wanted to write someone you had to mail them and wait days for an answer.
-Cameras used film, and had to be processed. I remember the big deal when 1 hour photo development came in.
-Home theater was a Television, and if you were lucky a 2 speaker stereo, with double cassette!
-Computer games came on cassette.....and took an hour to load
-No GPS.... if you needed to get somewhere you asked for directions
-I remember there being no shopping malls, only a main street, and corner stores that were a short walk from home.
-Watching Star Wars as a new release at the Cinema, then waiting years for the next part

You may think that reading all this that I am fairly old...... however I am only 36. It certainly shows you how much and how quickly things change.

Yes i remember all of the those and in one way it seems so long ago but somehow just like it was yesterday.

Ah i miss that time when life was so simple thanks for bringing back the memories zedex.

Got u covered by 3 and moving into the next decade at the end of the year although most don't believe me usually guessing early 30's.

Age doesnt matter too much as long as u always have that little kid u once were somewhere still inside you.

And for me my 30's were the best days of my life so far.Damn im going to miss them.

Ah yes, the good old days. I deleted some of the lines I couldn't remember (hey, I'm 5 years your junior ), but these are all memories from me as well. I loved playing games on our Commodore 64, remembering the minutes you had to wait until a game was loaded. The great fun we had by putting a commodore 64 tape into the normal stereo "system", man that was some incredible noise! I remember making our own games, simply by text. "You are in a dungeon. You see two corridors. One on your left, one on your right. Where do you want to go?"

I remember the meltdown of the Tsjernobyl nuclear reactor and us not eating spinach for a couple of months, I remember my brother getting a walkman for his birthday, those things were amazing! I remember putting all of my records on tape so I could listen to them on my room (where I only had a small casette player).

Ah the good old days... thanks for those memories zedex!
