Landlines / Pay Phones
Pagers
Wrote Letters / Faxes
Listened to the radio (and commercials)
Used a camera / waited a week for pics to come out
Used calculators
Disconnected the landline and ran a long cord to computer to check email or use internet after about 30 minutes
Used a desktop computer
Used cassettes or cd’s and bought music at Wal Mart
While at Wal Mart purchased road atlas
Wrote paper checks and mailed bills / note payments in.
Used stamps
Went to post office
Read newspapers for sports info
Watched local tv news
Had to actually go to football games to watch LSU or listened to Hawthorne on the radio
Had to keep a flashlight handy
Used a key to crank our vehicles
Cruised town on a Friday night
Talked face to face to people
Visited more
Called hotels and made reservations
Bought movie tickets at the door
Just a few things that can all be done now with a smartphone

You forgot the old fashion CB radio.
My buddies and I had them in our trucks in high school. "group chats" were the best in the early mornings on the way to school.
Otherwise, like others said, make plans and stick to it. "party at the moon tower, spread the word".
