"Be invited by the pilot to visit the cockpit of a passenger airliner in flight (I one spent the better part of an hour in the cockpit of a fully booked 747, flying internationally, as the pilot explained all the systems and backups to me). That scenario ain’t ever gonna happen again."

 

"Hanging up the phone after an argument in a satisfying way. You used to slam the receiver down and you got extra points if you hit the ringer. Like in those test-of-strength games at a county fair.

Now its press the “End Call” button… BOOP. Not as satisfying at all. Because any signs of aggression WILL end up in a cracked screen. Then you’ll have to deal with Apple and get frustrated all over again."

"Buy a full size candy bar for 50 cents."

 

"Saturday morning cartoons :("

 

"Stay with one company/job until retirement."

 

"Remember telephone numbers. I knew like 10 when I was a kid. My home, mom and dad work, my best friend…

Now I still have to look up my wife’s number that she has had for years when I need it."

 

"Travel between US and Canada without a passport."

 

"Not old, but I used to work in a shop where some bloke sent his kid, no older than 14 into the shop to buy him cigarettes twice, with and without a note.

I found out when he came into shout at me for not serving his son that this used to be pretty common practice, I confirmed with my dad who said that he used to do this for his dad in the 70’s

This happened in like 2015 and you couldn’t get away with it then, you certainly couldn’t get away with it now."

 

"Hitchhike as a means of normal transportation."

 

"Show up at the airport like 15 minutes before your flight."

 

"Pay for college and buy a new car…

With a part time job."

 

"Prank call people. Caller ID wasn’t really a thing until the late 90s and people usually answered their phone because no one called them other than people they knew"

 

"In the summer, my mom would kick me out of the house and tell me to go play. She didn’t drive me anywhere, no phone in my pocket, just left to my own devices until dinnertime. I’d get on my bike and ride all over town and get into all sorts of shenanigans. Bikes were truly freedom to a kid back then.

If you tried that nowadays they’d take your kid away from you."

 

"Quaaludes."

 

"Spend hours just having fun with friends without being interrupted by cell phones, or someone checking messages, or just having to post what they’re doing on social media. Get in the moment, enjoy it for what it is."

 

"Look people in the eye and disagree wholeheartedly, then go get lunch and move on. Seemed to me stupidity wasn’t a badge of honor back in my day.. maybe that helped."

Nothing wrong with cartoons everytime of the day: more choice of media isn't a bad thing. I for one like not having to wait a week and maybe miss my fav shows, and/or not being able to record it.

yes, i'm old, but i like the new technologies.
