Well, I remember having to use an outhouse before we had full plumbing installed. Pumping water from a well at the barn with a hand pump. The wood stoves in the kitchen and basement for heat plus a coal stove in the living room. The ringer washing machine. Radios for entertainment before TV. The wall mounted telephone.
The biggest box stores were Montgomery Ward ,Sears & the five and time stores. There were no shopping malls.
Unpaved roads. There were no interstate highways.
I joined the Army and got three hots and a cot.

Remembering Radio & Cat Vibes

Wire telegraph is a kind of very , very long cat. You pull it's tale in New York and it head meows in Los Angles . Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: You send signals here; they receive them there. The only difference is there's no cat :-)

Happy New Year All

Sounds like comments from those who grew up in the 1960's and 70's. My parents are from that era and fondly remember watching show like "Lost in Space" , "Star Trek" and the "Jetsons". They were also told that the earth would meets it's demise before the year 2000 due to Global Warming.
