I got my first mobile at age 18, a Nokia. Then an iPhone. Now I have a Samsung. But I sometimes miss the simplicity of my first phone because it was smaller to hold. I didn't think I was missing out on much back then. In this case technology expands in a different way.
I avoid texting when I can. I prefer just verbally saying what I want. I now have emoticons to choose from. My brother is jealous that my phone has more functions than his. :D
Remember dial-up phones. The only phone booth I see is on Doctor Who and that's not even the real one.
I had to write down my work roster with a notepad & pen. Nowadays people can just go "click" with their phones.
I didn't know what a ZX spectrum was. You went through alot. I though I had it hard. Its a plus that someone manage to invent electronic devices quicker. It probably was time consuming though.
I still have CD's. I don't buy them anymore because all the music stores are gone unless I go to an electronic store. I guess it could be considered a vintage item. Kind of like vinyl records. I don't know what I'm gonna do with my VCR tapes. I hated when the tape got too old and got caught in the player.
Bagpuss!?. What a title. Despite watching alot of kids shows, I don't remember that one. I'm a cat person though. I looked it up.
"Thunderbirds Are Go". I definitely remember that one. It was repeated alot on Australian TV.
My mum watched Lost In Space but only because there was nothing better on. According to her anyway.
My dad loved to watch Westerns. He always hog the TV when one was on.
Wow. I didn't realise I would be reminiscing alot.:)
