Re: Back in my day...

Back in my day ...

There were only 2 TV channels, until we got a 3rd one. And a lot of the shows were B&W - which didn't matter because a lot of the sets were B&W. My mom's cousin had a color set - it was a big deal to go over there and see football players in red uniforms.

We got an Instamatic camera - it had flash cubes.

We learned to use a slide rule in 9th grade algebra.

In 11th grade physics, we actually had a programmable computer - it could add, subtract, multiply, divide, and input and store about 4 numbers. It was about 16" square, and 5 or 6 inches thick.
