Kind of a fun game

[GilpinGuy]

We haven't had a fun game in a while. I heard this on a podcast.

Name something that someone under 30 doesn't know about, hasn't used or hasn't experienced.

This isn't to bash or demean anyone under 30, but to show just how far we have advanced with technology and perhaps slipped backwards in other ways.

I'll start:

Going to "the video store" to rent the whole gigantic VCR that you hooked up to your TV and a few video tapes. Get everything back in 2 days or you get charged a late fee!

The purple text and chemical smell of paper fresh off the ditto machine. For me, that was last experienced in the middle '80s elementary school.

I mentioned it a few days ago in here: Testing tubes.

That's at the very edge of my memory.

I remember it took me longer to read the light print out than solving some of an actual problem on the exam.

WORD PROCESSOR.

Computer ( serious POS today's standard) were so damn expensive that people bought word processors for about 900 to 1400. All it does is that it does Word type of program with integrated dot printer.

I had a brother's wp-xx series word processors and people said that it is too much of a machine for 6th grader.

Kids knows about typewriters but not too many kids knows word processors.
