    this makes me so sad. Its always been such fun to physically shop during the holidays. The hustle and bustle of the malls and department stores. It was such an event to go Christmas shopping as a kid in stores like Sears. Amazon has changed all of that. Not for the better.

    I was three. We had one of those PONG games. I bet I also got the Slinky and Silly Putty from Sears that year.

    That Pong demo
    Nowadays, Nintendo is practically the only game company that still allows playable demos at stores.

    American commercialism has convinced Americans that to express love, you must buy, buy, buy. The more expensive the gift, the more you love them. This was without doubt proven when cell phones came out. 12-year-olds given $700.00 to $1000 cell phones just because all the other kids had one. It's actually nauseating....

    I wish I knew what ISO speed film they were shooting

      It doesn't look like film at all, and it's a commercial, so probably a professional news camera (electronic) magnetic tape.

      @@SoapinTrucker Actually, it's a news segment. But you're right; in '75, that was a big video camera the operator carried on his shoulder. The tape was probably about 2" wide, unless they had smaller stuff by then.
