It's my hope that more young people start being that way. I don't ever see anytime young or older people without their nose glued to their phone out in public.
Anybody remember that shoulder rest for your phone receiver so your Mom could talk on the phone and cook at the same time? Or how about waiting all week to watch a movie you read in TV Guide was coming on? And, lest we forget, that beautiful visualization of your cassette tape hanging there after your player ate it. I used to have my player hooked up to an old car battery with a rubber band I found to make it go, and speakers held together with finger nail polish.
I can relate. My nephew told his mother that her car needed an Internet connection. She turned around and told him about her and her sisters' childhood before we even had access to the Internet.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the guy talking about reviews! I’m a host at a restaurant and someone reviewed me because they were late and brought an extra person than expected at 7:30pm on a Saturday night and I had to squeeze the extra person at their table per the manager. It was handled and I got a shitty review, incredible.
I work in a hospital and we get tons of bored and grumpy people who want to report office folk to the board of nursing (most office folk are not medical professionals at all so it's useless) over themselves not being put in the ER/ICU over a broken toe because someone was in there for a diabetic seizure or a heart attack. Spoiled spoiled people.
I find the reviews to be incredibly useful. Of course you're gonna have outliers but if a place has boatloads of 1 star reviews, take heed and steer clear. I change it to show the most recent and read the last ten. Insanely useful, there are thousands of places I want to try, no need to set myself up for disappointment
@@rustylee1836 I find all the 3 stars sincere. All the rest are dramatic. Im all for reviews if the person is not trying to get someone fired. There’s a place for all that and it’s not online.
Riiiight only the people that find a place mediocre and average are sincere. So all review should be 3 stars and we should have no idea what pleces are better. There is a legit wide range. A hotel with bedbugs and bad customer service is a clear 1. The 2 little shops that amaze me time and time again are clear 5s. If you think everything deserves a 3 you haven't experienced much or your brain is very very weird. I presume the 5 star rating in your original post is *intentionally* ironic.
Using cassette tapes was character-building. The hours we spent making the perfect dB level recordings from LPs so we could play them in our cars... and then our tape decks ate them. Playing that cassette afterwards with the wrinkle in the tape was a constant reminder of a successful, surgically-precise recovery using whatever tools were available: pencils, screwdrivers, tweezers, girlfriend's skinny fingers, etc.
So true! I remember gluing just the right number and weight of coins on top of the record player needle to get it to play through a scratched spot on the LP without skipping, and being so proud and joyful that I could then listen to the song on the cassette without the skip. I'm revealing my age when I remember the song was Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." And spending $50 for that "high tech" device that you put the cassette tape into, then plugged the whole thing into the 8-track player in the car. It was truly magical when they started making cassette players that played the reverse side without having to take the tape out and turn it over. ;-)
AND… who remembers the last time you saw deconstructed 8 track and cassette tapes (seemingly miles long) along the side of the road? It HAS been awhile, huh?🤪
Legitimately my childhood with that hook and eye on the screen door, saving us from strangers. The phone in the hall had a 20 foot cord so we could take it out to the back door to talk to, literally, the neighbor next door who was sitting out on their upstairs porch, which was the roof of our back porch.
Technology is ok. Microsoft, Google etc. have simply screwed it all up?😮 And why? Money, the true reason that makes nice people become idiots!😢 The joke is on all of us. Death ☠️. No matter how clever, which God you pray to, no matter how beautiful & in love 💓 your wife/partner is, you & everyone else are simply going to die! 😢 Life is not what you believe it to be, it really is that simple. Just sit down and read a book on physics, it just might help you enjoy life again and your relationships, especially with those who love you 😍
I found this channel today and watched a few specials. Lots of great comedy, but i gotta say I'm impressed with what you guys do with the decor in the background for each comedian, really liked seeing something different but interesting each time, i don't see that often.
Ista Polaroid were expensive, and the thick photo faded out anyway given time. But the photo lab did pass topless. But if a photographer has a darkroom they can produce anything.

34:33 Oregon Trail 🤣 🤣 my whole family died... Im wondering if anyone's whole family EVER made it to the end of the trail alive?? Anyone? that game was hard 🤣 .
My first uh-oh moment concerning technology was when the corner auto mechanic told me he needed a computer to figure what needed fixing. I knew we were in for it then.
To whom it may concern, I actually did call the 800 number on the side of a van, because the driver was driving like an unbelievable rude and dangerous A___ and guess what? he pulled into Safeway so I pulled in a few cars behind him and right on his van it said vehicle number 12 it was a wonderful thing to call in and get a real person on the phone ... she said thank you so much we really appreciate it you can bet we're gonna talk to this guy
I love how this dangerous driver just happened to pull into Safeway lol 😂 That part actually made me laugh til I cried. Not at your situation, just the irony in the words
I do! We had one of those in our family of 8 van. And a CB radio. One time I joked with mom about the 8 track. I told her, "That side is finished, you gotta flip it over" (like a cassette tape)... AND SHE DID! We all 😅😅
This is for people who actually learned Math in school, learned how to "count back" change, before cash registers that told you ow much change to give. If your bill comes to, for example, $15.05, give the clerk a twenty and a nickel, a few can figure it out but there's always one that doesn't!
We didn't get a phone until I was 9 or ten. Before school, the teachers would have students sit on the floor so teachers could ask info. Teacher asks me for my number. I had no idea what that meant, so , after some prodding, I made up a string of numbers ...9, 12, 64, 3, 47, 11, 51, 2, etc. Baffled, she sent for my older brother. He came over and said "You dumb ol' girl !. We don't have a phone ". I thought our neighbors were rich bc they had a wall phone with push buttons. lol
Forget cassettes and vcr, try playing a 45rpm vinyl without the plastic thingy that goes in the hole because without it that poor record won't spin right. Or using a pencil to rewind a cassette 😂😂😂😂
I remember getting a state of the art cassette record for my 15th birthday, and it felt like the mutts nuts. Very exciting, and so far ahead the stupid 8-track system and records, etc. I still get teased that my truck still has a cassette player built in.
I’m 20 and I used to listen to cassette tapes when I was a little kid my mom had a lot of them and I have my own little cassette player it was red and yellow and I listen to it in bed and I remember rewinding it fast forwarding it and fixing the concert with my pinky. I don’t have the cassette player anymore but my mom still has a bunch of Percocets packed away somewhere. My moms told me about the phone on the wall screen doors just about everything My mom raised me right 😁🥰
When we had rotary phones and were listening to a radio station that said 'caller 9 will win $500 or tickets to Fog Hat' you can't imagine how good you got at dialing a rotary phone fast. Call, busy, hang up, call, busy, hang up, call, busy... And they built those phones to take punishment because speed dialing a rotary hundreds of times they had to be tough.
7:29 stop by yes it was very common, it was nice, people were less stressed, face to face conversations are the best. Really true it’s a fact, they was a fraction on anxiety 1980s compared to now.
So... I think my family was really slow to upgrade... I'm 21 and we had cassettes. I would listen to my audio books from the library. Rewind them by hand because it was more fun that way, pull out all the tape...
That is funny about Glacier National Park. I went there to work in summer of 77 and they made me the breakfast cook even though i had never cooked eggs and some customer in the dining room offered to come back and help me cook.! Thats a real confidence builder.! Makes one look forward to school. 😊 ☮️☮️☮️
On the farm we had a party line, that was the wrong name for it... then my mother got an answering machine and put a funny message on it then left for vacation. Her machine picked up for everyone on the party line! She came home to find her service disconnected.
Actually, about that whole CPR joke, last weekend I was at a party and someone started having a seizure, so I Googled it and I helped him recover (along with several other people). Effective.
I was surprised when the lady talked about how fast the FedEx guys runs after they have delivered your package at your door. The very same thing happens with Amazon. Whenever they deliver packages to me, they knock, I open the door, look around, but they are nowhere to be seen.😅
They all do that because of UPS. For 30? years now, UPS has clocked their drivers for deliveries. You take too long, you get fired Fedex GROUND is not the same company as Fedex, they are the miserable old RPS company. Same deal with the contracted Amazom drivers. If they aren't fast they are fired. So they run like bandits. I make sure to give good feedback to the ones who take an extra minute and hand things to me.
I can't believe I'm watching this on my cel phone not connected to wires or plugged into an outlet. Yeah Technology seriously advanced in the past 20 years.
I remember having one of the first Transister Radios so I provided music for my friends where we hung out all day. Had to put in new batteries every day...
OMG, Joey Callahan got me with his " I am a old guy tho I am young enough to know I am one." That reminded me when I was in 12th grade, and went over to the small town's Elementary school to read to some first graders. One of the kids needed to look something up, I asked if they needed some help with the computer. The kids looked at me like I just grew 3 heads, and they said something like "Nope I got this, been doing it for years.", so I responded " Back when I was your age......" Then it hit me what I was saying and made me feel SOOOOOOOOOOOO old that second. The teacher over hold, and I could see she had a smirk and just gave me a nod....
I actually got that question: "Is there anybody there who is better at technology?" (or can read microscopically small numbers) PS: the problem was that the camera REALLY was broken... and they replaced it.
9:00 When we first got a telephone with an extra long cord, we also had an outhouse. I got excited, thinking I would be able to take the telephone all the way out there. Mumma informed me that I was wrong: no matter how long the cord was, I absolutely WAS NOT going to use it while I was on the toilet.
Ha! When we had an outhouse, we had a crank phone ( had to call the operator and she plugged you into your number). ( we also had indoor plumbing, thankfully)
@@SiiriCressey ok, let me clarify…we had plumbing ( including a toilet) but the outhouse still stood and was useable. Our telephone company was ‘farmer owned’ and we didn’t get dial phones until 1962!. So, I got to experience the crank phones whereas most of the world was already modernized. Outhouses are great when you are working/ playing outside and don’t want to track dirt inside. Wish it hadn’t blown over in a windstorm!
Screen doors! Lucky enough to have been raised in the country where we could leave our doors unlocked. Momma would say, “don’t let the door…,” Bang, too late…”slam behind you!” Oh, those summer breezes! The phone on the wall…I was rich with my long cord!! ☎️ It still amazes me to know a few stamps can reach out to someone across the world!
I always read reviews! I leave reviews too, but never negative ones. Only positive reviews of places I have really loved. I want those places to succeed!
My friends went to other schools and we wrote notes to each other about things that were going on and gave the notes when we saw each other, either at gymnastics or on the weekend. We also took the city bus downtown to go shopping and read a paper bus schedule to be able to get home before dinner.
Bwahaha same car here. I used to have cars with auto windows. When the last one's no longer obeyed its functionality i swore if I had the choice I'd get a car with manual windows. Hence, my FF.
I have lived in Europe for thirty years. Stopped driving when I left the US. I walk, take public transport, trains, taxis. Last week I was in a friend's car and - rare thing - it was too hot in the car for me. I saw the button and it didn't look like a door handle, so I took the chance and pressed it. I spent the whole 5-minute ride home trying to get control of how much the window opened. Never did quite master it. It would have been so natural and just enough air to open the wing window and direct the air where I wanted it.
I still have a combo cd/cassette player/radio w a handle that I use all the time. I have a favorite tape w old classic reggae tunes. And yes, I have to fast fwd and rewind it. Half the time I can't remember which side to flip it on. I don't replace my cassettes UNTIL they break and then I buy the cd. Doesn't bother me at all. Born in '55
This made me remember the giant laser discs and I'm 33. My entire middle school had 1 player and a total of 3 educational videos. Once it fried it was cheaper to take it to the dump than to fix it.
I’m an elementary school teacher, and a few years ago I said (which I never said before or after) that I felt like a broken record (because I was having to repeat myself so many times). They all looked at me with shock and confusion all at the same time. They had no idea what I was talking about. 🤪
@@edithdlp8045 Mimeograph; no HVAC; no touch-tone; Studebakers and De Sotos; 6-volt electrical systems in cars; starter buttons on the floor, and manual chokes; vacuum windshield wipers; wood/coal stoves and ovens; milkmen; guns and ammo at the hardware store; five-and-dime stores; 78 rpm bakelite records, and Victrolas to play them; electric refrigerators still called iceboxes, manually defrosted freezers. You are not ancient.
The guy at the 20 minute mark with the post office bit is SPOT ON. I have a package, WITH TRACKING, arrive at the Post Office and they updated its status to delivered. To my P.O. Box right there in the Post Office. It never was. I fought the Post Office for 2 months trying to get my package from whatever black hole their processing area is to my actual P.O. Box. I still don't have it. And they had the unmitigated to send me FOUR customer satisfaction surveys asking how well they resolved my issue. They didn't. Now I have to call a number in Washington D.C. & basically claim they stole it to get any further action. All because they are INCOMPETENT.
5:49 cash registers: Today I was at Meijer buying groceries. At the self-check out I had scanned a 2 for $4 bag of chips. I only bought one bag. It rang $3.69. Asked the clerk it rang the wrong price. Clerk had a difficult time correcting the price, “Mam, what is 2 for $4?” I said $2! This was mind blowing!
I am not with technology at all and found it to be very cold and impersonal. It makes people get away from each other instead of helping us get closer which we should more than ever. We are getting far away from each others instead of CARING MORE about ONE ANOTHER. Angela, Italy :)
I totally agree with Angela from Italy. We need each other more than ever because of what social media and the type of leaders it's helping to put in office ere doing to keep us divided. The world was getting much better without social media.
I LOVE/HATE you DB!! Why? Bc I can relate to every single one of those clips. Note my name... OUCH! Another great set down in the books, DB. Many thanks to you and your skeletal crew for continuing to scroll through the old clips and posting for us. Y'all are THE BEST!! 👍 😂 👍 Funny story? Four sibs, mom and dad, and an African Grey parrot whose very large cage was in the living room. We're all at work or school during the day. I was in HS. He learned to repeat the sound of the phone ringing. Ugh! 😣 One phone, short cord in the living room. In the afternoons, weekends and evenings, school days off, summer vacation... we're all at home. The phone rings... IT'S FOR ME! NO, IT'S FOR ME!! Dial tone... It was Baby Grey. If he wanted some company, he'd "ring the phone" sound. Not funny when you have a house full of teenagers, but it sure got Baby Grey some attention... MOM!!!! 😂 We hope that your Friday and Saturday night shows continue to stay open with the Delta, the Mu and now the Omicron viruses spreading like wildfire around the World. 1/2 of the 50 US's States have reported the Omicron - 1 hadn't even traveled to southern Africa, and only 70% of Washington State is vaccinated. When do we Americans get another spike? Mid January. 2 weeks after New Year's Eve. 2 weeks after Valentine's Day. 2 weeks after Memorial Day. Ditto 2 weeks after the 4th of July, Veteran's Day, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and yet another New Year's Eve. Stay safe and well, everyone, ok? Much love and prayers (especially for grumpy rat's behind). I've ordered him some Preparation H for his keyboard/fingers and his heart... Amazon Prime... 😂
Technology should be a tool, not a crutch. If you can do math without a calculator it’s a tool, if you can’t it’s a crutch. Learn how to live life without any modern technology first then you’ll okay.
Now that they introduced Common Core... Which in itself is LITERAL INSANITY people are accepting.. They are screwed anyway.. I say let them have their calculators, It's no longer a crutch, it's a Godsend because they will be there for HOURS trying to figure out 2+2 Poor kids
The library replaced the card catalogs & reader's guide with some computerized thing----without any instructions. I guess if you are under 12, you are already indoctrinated, and don't need help.
Technology and life is amazing. In some ways. When I was a little kid, my father would get the zinc tub, that was hanging on the wall of the pigsty on saturday afternoon. My mother was heating up the water, that my dad brought upstairs in zinc buckets from the town fountain, on a wood stove. Then I was bathed, then my mom and my Dad was last. Then he carried all the water downstairs again and poured it in the ditch. The tub went back into the pigsty until next Saturday. And now I am sitting in a recliner, get upset if I can't take a shower in the morning, work still as a translator and people, thousands of miles away can judge me as a hillbilly. And I don't care, because I had a wonderful childhood. Life is amazing !
58:30 Forreal, though! Trying to use the speech to text feature in my car has led to some really interesting things being sent. Bc you never know when it's just going to send it without confirming anything. It decided to tell my husband we were getting family pictures made with Satan for Christmas. Like autocorrect wasn't already the bane of my existence, now the speech to text is doing it too. :-D
I was homeschooled by my grandmother so neither do I! Hahahaha I remember when I was enrolled into public school and given my first research paper assignment. It was so easy!! I was used to doing actual research, not googling for reputable sources.
I'm 15 and this is still relatable. I was always that kid who's parents insisted that they steer clear of cell phones and things like that. I'm very thankful for not growing up with iPhones and computers!
Love it! I’m old school and lived it way back when. We need to go back to those days so we can give these So Called New Gens a Reality Check ! They wouldn’t survive. New Gens are Clueless in Life!
That's not true. Every generation was considered clueless by the generation before. They don't know about that that was important when the tech wasn't available for it and we are behind on learning what they know with the current tech. We are all in tuned with our own time and have to keep growing with the change.
I’m in my twenties, I’ve never owned a cellphone in my life. I just have a laptop for business stuff. My friends act like I’m a unicorn.
Good for you! I bet your happier & healthier.
My child you are gifted.
I commend your beautiful mind.

This is for people who actually learned Math in school, learned how to "count back" change, before cash registers that told you ow much change to give. If your bill comes to, for example, $15.05, give the clerk a twenty and a nickel, a few can figure it out but there's always one that doesn't!
I'm 18 and I understood all of these. My childhood was amazing
Jesus.. Are you from a Russian Siberian forest? :-D
@DatrixTSW2012 Did you notice his name?
We didn't get a phone until I was 9 or ten. Before school, the teachers would have students sit on the floor so teachers could ask info. Teacher asks me for my number. I had no idea what that meant, so , after some prodding, I made up a string of numbers ...9, 12, 64, 3, 47, 11, 51, 2, etc. Baffled, she sent for my older brother. He came over and said "You dumb ol' girl !. We don't have a phone ".
I thought our neighbors were rich bc they had a wall phone with push buttons. lol
Forget cassettes and vcr, try playing a 45rpm vinyl without the plastic thingy that goes in the hole because without it that poor record won't spin right. Or using a pencil to rewind a cassette 😂😂😂😂
Those were a thing I remember..
My friend tried shoplifting some... humiliating..
@@carolannpacificadam1944 I hope you didn't get caught. Back then, the lectures were worse than jail time😂
i had cassette tapes growin up and phones on the wall
I remember getting a state of the art cassette record for my 15th birthday, and it felt like the mutts nuts. Very exciting, and so far ahead the stupid 8-track system and records, etc. I still get teased that my truck still has a cassette player built in.
We still have a phone on the wall in the kitchen, BUT it's one of 6 walk around phones.
Well, the phones we had growing up in Amman were mostly touch-tone phones and one rotary phone. 😄
It was the best of times...we did bad things too. But social media makes people more crazy!
...with a 50 foot cord !!
"over 40 gang sign" 😂
The "envelope" guy was hilarious!

I’m 20 and I used to listen to cassette tapes when I was a little kid my mom had a lot of them and I have my own little cassette player it was red and yellow and I listen to it in bed and I remember rewinding it fast forwarding it and fixing the concert with my pinky. I don’t have the cassette player anymore but my mom still has a bunch of Percocets packed away somewhere. My moms told me about the phone on the wall screen doors just about everything My mom raised me right 😁🥰
When we had rotary phones and were listening to a radio station that said 'caller 9 will win $500 or tickets to Fog Hat' you can't imagine how good you got at dialing a rotary phone fast. Call, busy, hang up, call, busy, hang up, call, busy... And they built those phones to take punishment because speed dialing a rotary hundreds of times they had to be tough.
Foghat& Blue oyster cult was my 1st concert. 15 and learned a lil abt life that night.
🤣🤣 we had receipts being print out when I was a cook. Today, when I went back, there was screens all over! I did not know who to talk to
"... Apparently she's out of make-up, and needs a ride to Bethlehem." lol :)
7:29 stop by yes it was very common, it was nice, people were less stressed, face to face conversations are the best. Really true it’s a fact, they was a fraction on anxiety 1980s compared to now.
Jody..." yep".!
So... I think my family was really slow to upgrade... I'm 21 and we had cassettes. I would listen to my audio books from the library. Rewind them by hand because it was more fun that way, pull out all the tape...
That is funny about Glacier National Park. I went there to work in summer of 77 and they made me the breakfast cook even though i had never cooked eggs and some customer in the dining
room offered to come back and help me cook.!
Thats a real confidence builder.!
Makes one look forward to school. 😊

On the farm we had a party line, that was the wrong name for it... then my mother got an answering machine and put a funny message on it then left for vacation. Her machine picked up for everyone on the party line! She came home to find her service disconnected.
Actually, about that whole CPR joke, last weekend I was at a party and someone started having a seizure, so I Googled it and I helped him recover (along with several other people). Effective.
You Googled how to do CPR, while dude was dying??
I'll take things that didn't happen, for 500 Alex!
Okay I'm going to say it .....why didn't anybody just call 911??
By tje timethe ambulance shows up, the guy could be dead. Googling might actually be faster
I was surprised when the lady talked about how fast the FedEx guys runs after they have delivered your package at your door. The very same thing happens with Amazon. Whenever they deliver packages to me, they knock, I open the door, look around, but they are nowhere to be seen.😅
They all do that because of UPS. For 30? years now, UPS has clocked their drivers for deliveries. You take too long, you get fired Fedex GROUND is not the same company as Fedex, they are the miserable old RPS company. Same deal with the contracted Amazom drivers. If they aren't fast they are fired.
So they run like bandits. I make sure to give good feedback to the ones who take an extra minute and hand things to me.
How brutal to time the drivers there are so many obstacles to delivery weI just feel grateful they do it@@lyfandeth
I can't believe I'm watching this on my cel phone not connected to wires or plugged into an outlet. Yeah Technology seriously advanced in the past 20 years.

OMG, Joey Callahan got me with his " I am a old guy tho I am young enough to know I am one." That reminded me when I was in 12th grade, and went over to the small town's Elementary school to read to some first graders. One of the kids needed to look something up, I asked if they needed some help with the computer. The kids looked at me like I just grew 3 heads, and they said something like "Nope I got this, been doing it for years.", so I responded " Back when I was your age......" Then it hit me what I was saying and made me feel SOOOOOOOOOOOO old that second. The teacher over hold, and I could see she had a smirk and just gave me a nod....
I actually got that question: "Is there anybody there who is better at technology?" (or can read microscopically small numbers)
PS: the problem was that the camera REALLY was broken... and they replaced it.
9:00 When we first got a telephone with an extra long cord, we also had an outhouse. I got excited, thinking I would be able to take the telephone all the way out there. Mumma informed me that I was wrong: no matter how long the cord was, I absolutely WAS NOT going to use it while I was on the toilet.
Ha! When we had an outhouse, we had a crank phone ( had to call the operator and she plugged you into your number). ( we also had indoor plumbing, thankfully)
@@Lindaastewart7015 Indoor plumbing, but no indoor toilet?
@@SiiriCressey ok, let me clarify…we had plumbing ( including a toilet) but the outhouse still stood and was useable. Our telephone company was ‘farmer owned’ and we didn’t get dial phones until 1962!. So, I got to experience the crank phones whereas most of the world was already modernized. Outhouses are great when you are working/ playing outside and don’t want to track dirt inside. Wish it hadn’t blown over in a windstorm!
@@Lindaastewart7015 In a family of seven we still used the outhouse even after Dad and my Grandfather built the indoor bathrooms.
@@SiiriCressey ha- yes, all plumbing, including a toilet
They didnt go back far enough. My very first music recording? 'Wild Cherry', 'Play that Funky music, white boy!' On an 8 TRACK TAPE! Good times..

Radios have been around since the 1920s. Movies even longer. I sincerely hope you're joking because it wasn't apparent either way
Screen doors! Lucky enough to have been raised in the country where we could leave our doors unlocked. Momma would say, “don’t let the door…,” Bang, too late…”slam behind you!” Oh, those summer breezes! The phone on the wall…I was rich with my long cord!! ☎️ It still amazes me to know a few stamps can reach out to someone across the world!
Who doesn’t like reading reviews before you pay money to eat somewhere?😂😂
I always read reviews! I leave reviews too, but never negative ones. Only positive reviews of places I have really loved. I want those places to succeed!
Esp w/ food prices these days! Practically want a Michelin guide! 😂
Why have restaurant reviews from 5yrs ago when prices mattered??
Passing notes in class.. that brought back memories
I still do things like this here and there and it's so cute to see reactions
My friends went to other schools and we wrote notes to each other about things that were going on and gave the notes when we saw each other, either at gymnastics or on the weekend. We also took the city bus downtown to go shopping and read a paper bus schedule to be able to get home before dinner.
And sign language too!!
Did Colin Moulton used to work at the post office? I'm a retired mailman. He NAILED it! 🤣🤣
I always pretend to be on a rotary phone, it's quicker

24 pictures! Yep! Brings back so many happy memories.
My husband has a car that still has manual windows! It's a Ford focus! 😂
Bwahaha same car here. I used to have cars with auto windows. When the last one's no longer obeyed its functionality i swore if I had the choice I'd get a car with manual windows. Hence, my FF.
I have lived in Europe for thirty years. Stopped driving when I left the US. I walk, take public transport, trains, taxis. Last week I was in a friend's car and - rare thing - it was too hot in the car for me. I saw the button and it didn't look like a door handle, so I took the chance and pressed it. I spent the whole 5-minute ride home trying to get control of how much the window opened. Never did quite master it. It would have been so natural and just enough air to open the wing window and direct the air where I wanted it.
I miss the little tiny triangle 📐 window just in front of the regular window...it was perfect sometimes.
I still have a combo cd/cassette player/radio w a handle that I use all the time. I have a favorite tape w old classic reggae tunes. And yes, I have to fast fwd and rewind it. Half the time I can't remember which side to flip it on. I don't replace my cassettes UNTIL they break and then I buy the cd. Doesn't bother me at all. Born in '55
"You can be replaced by a raccoon". AND THEY DID! Self checkout is HERE.
I love nature and I love technology because I get to watch funny videos like this.
Dry Bar is the best!!
A kindergarten teacher I knew still occasionally used a slide projector with a record to play for the audio. The kids were amazed by the “giant CD.”
This made me remember the giant laser discs and I'm 33. My entire middle school had 1 player and a total of 3 educational videos. Once it fried it was cheaper to take it to the dump than to fix it.
I’m an elementary school teacher, and a few years ago I said (which I never said before or after) that I felt like a broken record (because I was having to repeat myself so many times). They all looked at me with shock and confusion all at the same time. They had no idea what I was talking about. 🤪

The guy at the 20 minute mark with the post office bit is SPOT ON. I have a package, WITH TRACKING, arrive at the Post Office and they updated its status to delivered. To my P.O. Box right there in the Post Office.
It never was. I fought the Post Office for 2 months trying to get my package from whatever black hole their processing area is to my actual P.O. Box. I still don't have it. And they had the unmitigated to send me FOUR customer satisfaction surveys asking how well they resolved my issue. They didn't.
Now I have to call a number in Washington D.C. & basically claim they stole it to get any further action. All because they are INCOMPETENT.
5:49 cash registers:
Today I was at Meijer buying groceries. At the self-check out I had scanned a 2 for $4 bag of chips. I only bought one bag. It rang $3.69. Asked the clerk it rang the wrong price. Clerk had a difficult time correcting the price, “Mam, what is 2 for $4?” I said $2!
This was mind blowing!

Great stuff! Just to clarify though, standard cell phones do not use satellites.
I am not with technology at all and found it to be very cold and impersonal. It makes people get away from each other instead of helping us get closer which we should more than ever. We are getting far away from each others instead of CARING MORE about ONE ANOTHER. Angela, Italy :)
I totally agree with Angela from Italy. We need each other more than ever because of what social media and the type of leaders it's helping to put in office ere doing to keep us divided. The world was getting much better without social media.

Funny story? Four sibs, mom and dad, and an African Grey parrot whose very large cage was in the living room.
We're all at work or school during the day. I was in HS. He learned to repeat the sound of the phone ringing. Ugh! 😣
One phone, short cord in the living room. In the afternoons, weekends and evenings, school days off, summer vacation... we're all at home. The phone rings...
IT'S FOR ME! NO, IT'S FOR ME!! Dial tone... It was Baby Grey. If he wanted some company, he'd "ring the phone" sound. Not funny when you have a house full of teenagers, but it sure got Baby Grey some attention...

2 weeks after Valentine's Day.
2 weeks after Memorial Day.

Technology should be a tool, not a crutch. If you can do math without a calculator it’s a tool, if you can’t it’s a crutch. Learn how to live life without any modern technology first then you’ll okay.
Now that they introduced Common Core... Which in itself is LITERAL INSANITY people are accepting.. They are screwed anyway.. I say let them have their calculators, It's no longer a crutch, it's a Godsend because they will be there for HOURS trying to figure out 2+2

Technology and life is amazing. In some ways. When I was a little kid, my father would get the zinc tub, that was hanging on the wall of the pigsty on saturday afternoon. My mother was heating up the water, that my dad brought upstairs in zinc buckets from the town fountain, on a wood stove. Then I was bathed, then my mom and my Dad was last. Then he carried all the water downstairs again and poured it in the ditch. The tub went back into the pigsty until next Saturday. And now I am sitting in a recliner, get upset if I can't take a shower in the morning, work still as a translator and people, thousands of miles away can judge me as a hillbilly. And I don't care, because I had a wonderful childhood. Life is amazing !
