- Dial-up internet... hearing it dial...
- Calling Cards (minutes to call someone from payphone)
- Computers that ran by disk, they had no hard drive
- Cell phones that didn't come in their own bag...
- Bills in the mail
- Going INTO the bank to get cash
- Not seeing what the photo is when you take it... and then having to wait for the pictures to be developed
- using the library to research
- printed newspapers... still around, but getting less and less
Hubby and I were just having a similar conversation about the bills that we have compared to our parents... our parents probably had elect, sewer/water, mortage, maybe gas (both our parents used solar/burned wood - my parents didn't gas furnace until I was in high school)... they didn't have credit cards, we didn't have cable, netflix, internet, cell phones, water service, broker service, cleaning service, landscaping, gym memberships, wholesale clubs, etc. We wonder what kind of bills J will have when he is our age..
