I can barely use my mobile phone as a phone! No idea how to text, or take photos with it, and mine is about as basic as you can get these days!
When I started work, I bought myself a music centre: radio, cassette and record player all in one! It was the height of modernity. I'd sit beside it to record songs off te radio too =)
I still buy CDs, and I still have my massive record collection too. I hate to think what will happen to my records when I die, my niece and nephew won't want them.
My first computers used floppy discs. Well, after the ZX spectrum which used cassettes and had to be connected to a cassette player and a TV, lol! Programmes for that, I had to type the code in manually from a magazine and save it on cassette, sometimes it took days of typing before I could play a simple game. Everything is so much simpler now.
I can't even remember half the shows I watched growing up. I remember The Clangers, Bagpuss, Thunderbirds, Stingray, and my early SF shows UFO, the original Star Trek, Doctor Who, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and The Time Tunnel... And Westerns, watched a lot of those as a kid!
