Kids played outside till after dark. If you discussed someone's cell they had been arrested. If someone hit on you it left bruises. When you did a report, you had to go to a library and do the research in "books". You typed it on a typewriter and if you made a mistake you either used white-out and typed over it (teachers usually didn't allow this) you used erasable bond paper that let you erase and then realign and type the correct word or you just started over.
Spell check was in a dictionary and no auto-correct (that may have been a good thing).
