Life Before the Internet and other technology

Thank you for for the beat comment

@HumanEarth I really appreciated your well thought out and written reply. Not many take the time.

@HumanEarth One thing I have to say in favor of cars and trucks. I have never had to chase my car around a cold muddy pasture just to get somewhere to buy groceries nor does the car play the game of a couple of steps foreword when you are trying to get inside of it.

@LadyGrace I guess I was asking about these last 30 years, around the time of the internet. So much of what we do today is in some way affected by WiFi. I do remember life before pampers and microwaves and absolutely VHS? I remember being fascinated by the idea that soon I’d be able to watch a show while taping another show at the same time. Then came video stores!

@4thdimensiondream Yeh, the video stores were great. Now they're gone.

@LadyGrace I found my moms old book from the 50s on baby care.
They had to sterilize bottles and make the formula themselves if they couldn't afford to buy the commercial formulas.
Cloth diapers with rubber pants.

@EBSVC remember AAA triptek maps. They were awesome.

@4thdimensiondream Are those the ones you get from welcome centers? I remember those from road trips with my parents

@EBSVC yes they would highlight the routes. They were fun to use.

@MarineBob self driving taxis.

@Adrift ugh! I heard one just hit a kid

@4thdimensiondream Yeah, I dont trust anything that you cant override and take over the wheel.
