I donāt see any candy machines in grocery stores anymore. The ones with bubble gum or M & Mās or jawbreakers where you put a penny or a nickel in the slot and turn the handle and the candy comes out. Occasionally we used to find one that was broken and you could get free candy, so we would be at the store every day for a couple weeks getting free candy until they discovered it was broken and fixed it.
candy bars for 10 centsā¦the cards you used to get in that huge square of bubble gum and you could collect themā¦pin ball machinesā¦bowens beat me to video arcadesā¦
Where will be be in another 30 years time, Iām wondering.

Every house used to have a radio
Ours still does.
Yep, not one, not two, but three functional radio sets.
Hmmā¦ maybe Iām wrong then. Maybe thereās life in the humble radio yet !
This is old for me, I was like 10y.o.
Ipod 1st gen 2001
Yep. Video didnāt kill the radio star, after all was said and done.
TVs that werenāt flat !
Non-wide openings for aluminum canned drinksā¦ blowing on game cartridges to get them to work, modem noise, A/S/L on chatrooms, adults not understanding what the internet is, etcetera.
I was waiting for mine four yearsā¦
It was like now 1300 $

I think this is its successor but now replaced by tablets and smartphones:
Smartphones are godlike compared to electronic organizers and pdas
It is not a thing, but I purposefully lived without the internet for half a year in 2021. It really made me think of how we lived when I was a child. With books to look up the train times, for example, which I now missed in my internet-free experiment, because nobody uses them anymore. And my bank hated me, because I wanted to use the paper cards to transfer money again, which only 90-year-olds use here now. And I wanted to receive an overview of my money on paper regularly, which is also not done anymore here. Again, it is not a thing, but I think mostly older people remember the peace and quiet of not living with a telephone in your hand and a laptop in your home. It was lovely to experience that again. I would not mind repeating my little experiment.
Also, I went to a second hand shop with my son (11) lately. He saw the āthickā televisions and cassette tapes and video tapes. He was completely clueless as to what they were for, I had to explain everything. It was nice.
