I’m VERY glad I can remember these things! It means that a) I’m still alive TO remember & b) my memory is still working. Many of my contemporaries aren’t so fortunate.
LMAO....yeah, I'm 60 so I remember when 'dialing a phone number' involved a physical dial when all of Los Angeles shared the same area code so you didn't need to use it....and when I was the remote for a tv with knobs to change channels and when Pong as "AMAZING!" Good times!
@@davidhutchinson7888 My wife's father used our son to change the channel. At five years old he loved it, and he worked for peanuts. Probably be child abuse today.
I clearly remember television when we had only 4 channels, and when smoking was permitted in grocery stores, public transit and even movie theaters. I smoked in the classrooms in college. Yikes I'm old! I also remember when stereo was new, FM was for the wealthy, and school movies were 16mm. Or being asked, "Fill 'er up?" or "Leaded or Unleaded?" How about when buying a car, rear seatbelts were an upgrade? As well as backup lights? Or hot school lunches that cost $.35? Or even a keyboard that had a "cents" symbol? Or "Pong", which was in B&W, and didn't keep score? My favorite reflections are about respect. Do you remember when you called ALL of your parents' friends "Mr or Mrs?"
*Four* channels? We only had two, CBS and NBC. Lived in a small town. My parents tossed us kids in the back of the station wagon - no option for seatbelts there!
Yes, you must be from my era. I remember us getting a colour tv for the first time. I also remember when Channel 4 first came out and how exciting it was to have a fourth option. It was a very different channel to the other three. There may have only been four channels, but that was quality tv most of the time in those days.
"Without revealing your actual age, what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?" I delivered pizza for Domino's. Inside the store, we had a huge map of town that covered an entire wall. Before I left to deliver a pizza, I would find the delivery address on that map and do my best to memorize how to get there. I carried a paper map with me in the car, and if I had trouble finding the address, I would pull over and unfold the map to figure out where I had taken a wrong turn. I also carried a pocket full of quarters, and if the map was no help, I would find a pay phone and call the customer for directions. It wasn't hard to find a pay phone. They were all over the place.
When I delivered for Pizza Hut I lived in LA. We ALL had the Thomas Guide. LA County alone was 200 pages, not that I drove that far, just one maybe 2 pages…
I watch a lot of videos about people who buy stuff at garage sales and resell it for a profit. I recently saw one of these where the guy in the video was thrilled about finding a certain "vintage" board game, and all I could think was that I bought that exact game when it was new. If stuff I had in my teens is now "vintage", I must be way older than I think!
Ah, but do you remember party lines? Before dialing a phone, you first listened to make sure some strangers weren't already talking on your phone line.
And if they were, picking it up and checking every minute or so ... and again ... and again ... and again ... until they were finally off the line so you could use it before someone else got on. Lol
but remember, they use to recirculated outside air back in the day, so people didn't catch viruses and such when flying...today they recirculate the same air that hundreds of people have already breathed in and out before you boarded.
I still have the clock radio and the stereo system! I also have dishware from the 60's. They made stuff to last back then and we didn't run out to get the latest gadget. We only got new when what we had broke.
I saw a kid being carried on their adult's shoulders today, and remembered seeing a kid being carried like it to school, every day on my way to college, then I realized he'll be 25/26 years old now. I don't feel old enough for that to be right.
The Amana Microwave Oven I remember when they used to swing a 🎳 BOWLING ball at the door!!! We were all worried about the radiation. Now we have a stupid stare ... watching the bag of popcorn exploding
I wouldn't trade all of these things that I remember plus so much more of being outdoors playing with my friends, going on adventures, using our imaginations, the freedoms that we had in this era as children for a childhood today that basically seems to consist of having a cell phone
@@leia477 does your mother not trust you I mean if men in general are a threat does she not trust you to recognize that and remove yourself from the problem?? You're very young worry not soon enough you'll be able to do what you want to do when you want to do it but there is care needed in navigating the world keep that in mind. There are a lot of terrible people out there but they're also a lot of wonderful, inspiring, loving people as well
@@leia477 you need to stop viewing things in that manner once you're 18 you can do what you want and trust me you have many wonderful things to look forward to period and ringing the bell and running is called ding dong ditch!! Just so you know
@@candaceking1518 lol, my mother doesn’t want me to walk around at night in my town of 1000, and I’m 48 and lived alone, not even a roommate, for 15 years.
I walked into the library the other day, needing to have a page from a book copied and enlarged. When I asked the clerk if they had a Xerox, she said no. They have a copier, not a Xerox. Yes, I am that old that a copier was a Xerox.
Xerox was (I'm sure it still is) very fussy about its name being used as a noun or verb. It's supposed to be an adjective, like "Xerox copy", not "a xerox"(noun) or "Can you xerox this for me?" (verb). I remember when Xerox took out full-page magazine advertisements reminding us about that. It's understandable, though. Under U.S. trademark law, if you don't protect your brand name, it can fall into the public domain and become a generic name and lose its legal protection as a brand name. This happened to "aspirin", "escalator", "dumpster", and many others. (Yes, "Escalator" was once a trademark of the Otis Elevator Company.)
A few years ago I had to get a loaner from the shop when my car was in for repairs. It was an older model. My son got in, pointed at the manual window crank and asked "what's that?"
My grandfather was a tool and die maker.. when i was a kid he gave me a clock he had made parts for... I used to take it with me everywhere I needed an alarm clock. EVERYBODY that had to be is same room couldn't handle the Tick, tick , tick it made but they sure knew how to get up when the alarm went off .. ! i still have it .
I student taught in South Carolina in the early 80’s. My classroom opened up to the main hall with one door and to a smaller hall with the back door. The smaller hall was also the STUDENT smoking area. After lunch there was a gray haze of smoke in my classroom.
OMG I'm old. I had the tower stereo, the clock radio and also had the Commodore 64, had to connect it all through the tv and played space invaders for hours.
I still own (and still use) items that are certainly legacy by today's standards. My favourite item to freak out the "not so ancient" is my PIC 226 slide rule (the one I bought second-hand in 1971), which still works just fine (as it would). Most treasured mathematical tool will be by Grandfather's slide rule - War Department Issue (UK) dating back to 1912 - ivorine on boxwood, double-sided. I also have his pocket 6 inch slide rule - similar construction, no manufacturer's identification (though I think it may be an early British Thornton).
As a new engineering student in 1973 we learned the slide rule. Two years later hand held calculators were introduced and took over. I bought H-P not TI.
Wow, that rule sounds sweeet! I never learned to do more than basic multiplication/division but I still have a kid's plastic one, and a foot-long stainless steel one. I also have three abaci, one of which I actually used regularly...until I learned Excel, that is.
@@asphodelale The nice thing about double sided is that the basic scales are matched, so you can "carry over" results from one side to the other. Makes for really fast calculation, and seeing as 14 inch rule will be accurate to around 4 sig. figures, these old tools are faster, and better than an y modern calculator. I have quite a collection, since should things get really bad, these still work!
The one about the Saturday morning cartoons and the Sunday night Disney I remember it well and it made me a little Misty!! I loved my childhood growing up in the 70s was awesome!!
The alarm clock at 10:13...it is still on my dresser and still works great, not unlike me (I have creaks at times...usually followed by "what the heck was that?!"), but I can still rock out to ACDC..."You've been Thunder Struck"!!!!
Could have added one other thing to the video. The old TVs that had tubes in the back and took 5 minutes to warm up. Then going outside or leaning out the window to turn the aerial antenna to focus one of the three channels available. Have mercy if there was a bad tube. LOL
4:23 I heard my favourite music (mostly 80s) in a bus. Good times. And then the radio DJ called out the name of the station: "Oldie 95". Dang, I felt old! 6:18 "I had three TV channels to choose from." I told that to a group of kids years ago, and you could watch them look at me like I was an Alien. 9:10 Wow, I feel seen!
I work overnight security at a high school and they're using large wall mounted TVs. The teachers leave them on overnight or over the weekend ALL THE TIME.
It was many years before I got used to the idea that I could receive phone calls while on the internet. You know your old when you realize that all the actors of your favorite sitcom you enjoyed growing up are deceased.
Gilligan's Island (although Tina Louise is still alive). (But she's 87!) And my favorite game show -- Match Game -- all dead now. :-( (Okay, except the aforementioned Betty White, who is like the damn Energizer Bunny! [God bless her!] She'll be 100 in January 2022.)
I'm crying ! I actually remember all these items. (I still have some , zx spectrum for example) but then at 74 l suppose l can start considering myself old.
1:09. That sh*t was pure science fiction when I was growing up! Video games in your own home????? I was 17 when I saw my first "Space Invaders" game, it was in the pub down the road from my technical college/ It was black and white with coloured film stuck over it to make the characters change colour, and it was set into a table. Minds absolutely blown.....
This happened to me in a NAAFI bar while in the RAF: next year we had a console of Streetfighter (just Ken and Ryu side-scrolling ninjas and level-bosses), while the tabletop suddenly became Galaxion. The shop off camp then got Defender, then Sinclair started the PC game craze with his ZX80. It's all gone now: we pay Russians real money to update imaginary ships so we can fake blow ship up.
I still have that radio shown at 10:15. It functions mainly as a clock these days. Also, TV from the 70s? Please. I vividly remember TV from 1950 and watching silent, black and white cartoons the following year on it. You think you're old? Hah! Enjoy getting to know the idea of your own mortality, guys.
Age is what you want when you're really young, what flies by in your twenties, what you fight when you turn forty, what you want again until you can retire, then you begin to believe you're only as old as you feel and then you realize you're feeling tired...wouldn't trade it for anything at 78 though. On that wheel of fortune thing, the numbers usually stop before my age comes up...it just says "over".
I took my daughter, now age 30, to nursery for her 1st day. In the room they had a computer that my peers and I had been using to help with our serious school work years previously. The children were using it to play kids games on. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😂😂😂
I love, love burning CDs. Tape cassettes before that. Physically going to rent a video, never having the one I wanted because someone got there first. Buying vinyl records, again sold out because someone got there first. It was brilliant :-)
I had that stereo tower. The late 1900's....I really felt that. 56 now, I have no problem with that number but I cannot longer ignore the side effects.
3:26 - I still own that pen, and it IS still cool. Don't care if that makes me old, lol. Always loved challenging myself to drawing and coloring with just what that single pen provided, just.. cuz. And now I must dig it out and try that once again! :D
Betamax and VHS... I recorded the initial days of Dragon Ball series... Including tv commercials. Sadly, they were all lost over the years. Good having a pencil around as a cassette tape rewinder.
I had every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Babylon 5 on VHS. (No, not from the Columbia Video Club. I recorded them myself.) Being able to watch any episode whenever I wanted was like a super power. Then streaming happened. Those tapes are in a landfill now.
0:42 I remember when the back of the chair in front was the desk top for me. Every time I would write on paper, the pencil would rip a hole, because of the initials carved in the desk top. Also had an ink well at the top right. Let's see someone beat that! 3:03 The hot end of a car cigarette lighter. 5:19 I was born in the 40's 6:12 There used to be only 3 TV stations 3, 6 and 10 10:18 I always wondered what happened to my clock radio.
I remember having an old desk with an inkwell at primary school. I told my mother about it and she went off on a rant about boys who would sit behind her and dip the ends of her pigtails in their inkpots.
Can't beat you on the inkwell desks, but can match you, right down to the carved-on desktop. Made of oak and cast iron. Didn't have the desktop combined into the next set, it had a flip-up top.
I was talking to my grandkids about a record player I use to have , they asked me , what is that and what does a record look like . Now that made me feel old and I'm only 59. They also didn't believe me when I said I use to buy candies for a penny. The small juice was 25 cents and a bag of potato chips was also 25 cents. They said grandma now you are crazy. LMAO
@@VulpisFoxfire yes they are . But my grandkids are into technology their faces on their phone, tablets and computers . They are 10 , 12, 14 , . They didn't know what it was . And they do sell it at Walmart you are right but they live in a small town in the mountains The nearest Walmart is 2 hours away and to drive to the city is 6 hours away . The phones and tablets and laptops they have is because it is sent to them by me or their aunts . So no they did not know what a record player was .
In fairness, though, it's a slight exaggeration. _The Breakfast Club_ came out in 1985 -- 36 years ago. (And the 1980s was as little as 32 years ago.) 36 years before _TBC_ was 1949, not 1945. Technically the 1940s, yes, but just barely, and not 40 years, as the meme implies.
Still have my Scholastic Stuck on Stickers book, and I had the pickle too! Cassettes? VHS tapes? Throwing yourself at the radio or remote to either hit record cause "that's my song" or pause the recording cause it saved on VHS tapes (recently found a VHS with 49ers quarterback Steve Young on Arsenio Hall--if that ain't 90's...). And no pagers? We would skip school and then my friend's mom would page her (pager/ beeper...feel free to Google that one) and we'd have to dash to the nearest pay phone (not just for Dr. Who people), scrounge up change, and call before we were found out.
I had lots of VHS tapes but it was my brother who bought into the real winner, Sony BETA. That went nowhere fast. And I had a pager in '87 when my wife was pregnant with our only child. Lost the thing daily but didn't need it when the time came.
I don't like it that these young punks are laughing at MY generation that made it possible for them to live long enough to destroy those of us who lived.
My best friend is one day younger than I am! When we had turned 50, she expected an over-the-hill card. She was disappointed. She asked me if I ever planned on mailing her that card. I replied, no because the minute you are over the hill then I am.
I’m so old I remember rationbooks during WW 2. Flour sugar and gasoline were in short supply since they were needed for the soldiers. You got a book of stamps to use for those items. When they were used up you had to wait for a new book. Neighbors traded with us when they needed gas. We didn’t have a car.
I remember when my mom had to stir in yellow dye to margarine to make it look somewhat butterlike. I remember that we had to have a chicken so we could have eggs. Her name was Betty.... she was named for a movie star, but her legs weren't as nice.
3:19 as soon as I read the caption about the scratch n sniff pickle sticker my brain instantly remembered that smell. I haven't smelled that sticker in probably 35+ years! 🤮
about the school desk, I actually preferred the older version, with a square bottom as my books and papers didn't slide around. This one was designed to look sleeker without being more usable.
I can remember when school desks had a circle cut into them to hold the inkwell and if you misbehaved the headmaster gave you the cane (6 of the best if you really mucked up).
I remember smoking in Burger King as a teen. It had got to the point that the smoking area was by the entrance, but you could still do it. Smoking on buses had been banned, but on a double-decker if you sat upstairs towards the back and smoked no one would complain. (UK) I remember those Mcdonalds ashtrays. Ashtrays were just everywhere in the 80's early 90's. Not the issue it is today.
Fizz Pop, But are you old enough to remember when McD served their hamburgers in Styrofoam? But I doubt anyone is old enough to remember when a McDonalds ice cream machine actually worked. LOL
@@samuelschick8813 I'm old enough to remember McDonald's Soft Sreve machines working, Because I worked in or at McDs over 19 years ago, & ours always worked, unless they were being cleaned or serviced. And I remember the Styrofoam containers. I'm probably a lot older than you.
@Samuel Schick- Those containers were so convenient, one side for your burger and the other for your fries. A milkshake and hot cherry or apple pie and a good time was had by all.
I have always washed my dishes by hand, still use a phone with a cord, go to brick and mortar stores, and drive myself anywhere I need to go. Life is good.
When I was 7, my parents bought a TV. Black and white only. On the rare occasions that the station broadcast a show in the new, color format, our screen turned into snow.
I loved the one about grocery deliveries, I’ve been ordering for over a year, sometimes 2-3 times a month, in all that time I’ve had one delivery that had my whole order. It really is frustrating. I’ve been trying to order one pound of powered sugar for a couple of weeks, don’t have it yet.
I've been ordering online on and off for a long time. It can be great, because when you factor in your time, gas, wear on your car, and effort -- well, the small fee was insubstantial (especially, not having to lug dog food, kitty litter, etc.). It's so different during these times. One of the biggest problems I used to have was amusing. When you placed your order online, they wanted you to enter the number of some things and the weight for others (like produce). About ten years ago, on three separate occasions, the delivery person handed me a single banana. The third time it happened, I burst out laughing. No matter how I ordered, I was handed a lone banana. When I laughed, the man looked at the ground and cleared his throat. "You're the third person today I had to hand one banana to...."
@@Milesco 🎶 "Over hill and highway the banana buggies go Coming on to bring you the banana splits show Nah na nah, nah na na naahh nah nah nah, na na na na naahhh...." 🎶 (How on Earth did that return through the mists of time and into my mind? Astonishing. I remember sitting on a carpet and eating Cheerios, one by one, from a little sandwich bag. I also remember HR Puff & Stuff -- almost, and more. Thank you for an unexpected gift. Respectfully, I believe you were not born yesterday.♡)😊
I kept the old TV to go with the old video games. Found a backup TV in a trash heap. Works perfect it's just so old it doesn't even have a remote but it has that one nipple connect in the back 🖖🎮
The older I get the more I understand Ebanezzer Scrooge. I remember having a phone card you load with minutes and sitting at a table in a truck stop eating lunch and waiting for my dispatcher to call the phone at the table. Or standing in the rain at a pay phone doing the same. And no Google maps. Just a phone # for directions.
Oh man, I had a clock radio when I was a mum of 4 boys... somehow it got knocked off and I picked it up half asleep and when I got back into bed I saw that it was 25:01 and I thought "Oh thank god they've put another hour in the day!" It was so good while it lasted :)
