re: How much technology has changed in 2 decades

Things I can remember:

- Having one phone in the house. It was avocado green and in the kitchen. One of my aunts was still on a party line, and my grandmother still had a rotary phone.
- I remember my grandparents had an 8 track player. My parents were a little more advanced with a cassette player. I also had one of those kiddie 45 record players.
- We had a BETA VCR
- Console televisions. I can remember when you were fricking lucky to get six channels - the usual 4 (ABC, NBC, CBS, public broadcasting) and maybe a couple from New Orleans if the wind was blowing right.
- If you wanted a mix tape, you had to put a blank tape in the tape player, and wait for the song to come on the radio. You usually ended up missing the first second or two of the song.
- Commodore 64. We got one in 1985 and that thing was awesome and worked until it finally blew up in 2002.
- Having two VCR's and my old man would copies of the videos we rented. I thought that was bad-arse because he was telling the FBI to stick it.

I sure I can think of a shite ton of more stuff.
