I think us millennials grew up in a fascinating time. Technology was growing rapidly but it didn’t dominate our livelihoods. We played outside. But we also had video games and computers. We just didn’t have them with us all the time. By the time I was 17, the very first iPhone came out and it was all downhill from there haha

Regarding item 10, 49's fans still watch those old Superbowl VHS tapes. Sorry, just had to rub that one in. Yes, 11,448 days since they won a SB, if you're counting (and we are).
Been to a drive in movie and I remember putting a quarter in the jukebox but I don't believe I ever put in a dime. My parents were not into 60s music and on. They were into Lawrence Welk - yuk.
I worked at Digital Equipment Corporation in the late 70's and 80's, as a service engineer.
Some of the equipment at the time, had 8 inch, "floppy" disk drives.
I thought the 5" discs were an engineering feat... the 3.5" discs were unimaginable!!
Many times for both. We actually still have a drive in here in Reno. Or at least we did a couple years ago. Haven’t checked lately.
Any of you used to grind down slugs on the sidewalk to the size of a dime so you could buy a soda?
It’s more like crap people put out there to make you feel old. Mutherfuckers!
