      1977?! Luxury!! We finally jettisoned the trusty 12" Magnavox B&W for I think a 16" Zenith color set in October of 1987 when we moved to Cincinnati for my father's new job. I was in 8th grade at this point, and my only sibling had just gone off to college.
      We weren't poor: he was a successful trust banker. But my parents had been disinclined to indulge anyone with the magic of color television. They finally relented after the move when I guess it dawned on them that I wouldn't have any real friends for like the next two years.

    I grew up in the mid 90s with a 1960s faux wood TV set until 2009 in nyc 😅 We also had a typewriter (yes we had one main computer lol) and used a rotary dial phone until it was no longer usable in 2015. It was my mother’s way of honoring the past and a way of creating a direct relationship through common experiences with those she grew up with. She is a good decade older than Conan, so by the time I came along, every piece of furniture was a family heirloom. You could really feel the time, effort, and the lives that poured into every detail.
    It stirred an interest in the many lives I didn’t get to meet who made it possible for me to be here today- a group effort to live/learn/persist on a world scale generation after generation. We didn’t have much but just being surrounded by history, musicians and artists struck such curiosity for the liminal spaces of any kind + equally silly and serious pattern/probability oriented rumination very young.
    I know I wrote a wall but it’s amazing the influence using appliances of the past can have on a person. The juxtaposition of the present we all share and the probability of any of us being a part of the same civilization at the same time is so insane and beautiful. In that insanity, I think, is where the power of comedy lies

    Part of the reason I'm typing on a clacky blue-switch keyboard is I'm nostalgic for the old typewriters my generation had back in the day, not enough to go back to them, just enough to hearken back to them, while still enjoying the befits of present-day editing. Conan's description of how you switched between ink and correction cartridges certainly took me back. I'm also glad they eventually came back to the Andy Bernard thing.

I often worked at the university computer lab because I did not yet have a personal computer. In grade school and middle school I remember playing Oregon trail in class and taking a computer typing class. Somewhere along the line (maybe high school), they taught us about the Microsoft Office suite. Meanwhile, my mom was in college and did her papers on her typewriter. And when I was on the school newspaper in high school, we laid it out every week BY HAND. It was a very interesting transitionary time.

    I had a commodre 128, and it had no hard drive, so I bought like an $80 word processor program, and in order to save your writing, you had to change floppy disks, which were the big 5 inch ones and then when the save was done, you put back in the program disk. Playing games were even worse because there were multiple play disks, so at random points in the game, it wold tell you ' insert disk 3' .. and then the same thing, if you wanted to save your game you had to insert a save game disk.

    We had a black and white T well into the 80s. I think I was in 11th grade (1987) when we finally got color. And we never had cable.

    My first home computer was the old commodore 64. The floppy discs for games n school work, wow to think now I have an IPHONE is insane. Going from AOL dial up from when I was in my late teens to now having instant 5g in my fourties. My era went from beepers/pagers to mini cell phones to 5g IPHONES n Atari to PS5 DAMN how much we've advanced in my lifetime

    I'm under 40 and I grew up with dot matrix printers in elementary school XD not quite "thwack thwack" territory for keyboards/typewriters, but they were certainly around, mostly as a relic (electric typewriters are much quieter...certainly quieter than those damn printers).

    Wow I had forgotten all about those whiteout typewriters / word processors. If I remember correctly, you actually had to type the same letter again to delete it, because the “flapper” would only whiteout on the area of that particular character (between the flapper and the whiteout strip). 😂Also, I just remembered “ON TV” subscription service! One switch on a wooden box to access a few channels and even paid per view. I wonder if Conan remembers that one! 😂

    Too much work to pull out one cartridge and put another in to white it out? That was amazing technology! When I typed papers in high school and college we had a typewriter that was likely from the 1950's, maybe early sixties. It took a bit of effort just to push the keys. Typewriter paper was kind of like thick tissue paper back then, and when you had to erase something you could easily tear right through the paper. I would have killed for a Selectric! At some point my mom bought an electric typewriter, 1980 or so maybe, what a huge improvement that was. Right around the time I'd typed my last paper for school! I might have used it once or twice.
