I remember when you had to wind them up at once within a 24 hour period so they'd keep running!

Also, that they were returnable, but you generally sat at the gas station to finish the pop shooting the breeze with the employees. Things weren't as rushed then. If leaving in a hurry, you made apologies telling them why. If no apologies made, you were considered rude becoming the topic for the next couple of hours.

I remember when metropolitan library systems had "ready reference" lines you could call to get answers from.They were manned by a human and they always seemed to come up with the information you were seeking......

Now we just type in a query and get a response, no human touch at all.

..
When schools had dress codes! Girls HAD to wear skirts or dresses.....

Homoe was not a happy camper needless to say.....:seeingstars:
