People 30+, what's something that happened back your day?

There were no VCRs. If we missed a show, or something happened (someone called on the phone or someone talked through the show), that was just too bad. We missed the show.

There were no microwaves. If you got to the table after the food had reached room temperature, too bad. You ate your food cold.

We filled out paper applications for jobs, and we actually heard from the employer after an interview even if we didn't get the job. Imagine that.

We learned to solve the Rubik's cube.

We went roller-skating.

I remember when Pac-Man came out and the convenience store had a min-arcade where kids would play for hours on end.

I remember when I could count on one hand the number of TV stations in our area.

I remember break-dancing, and why it stopped. It was so sad when that 10-year-old kid fell and broke his neck when he was spinning on his head. ;(

Kids actually wanted to play outside. Our parents had to call us in when it got dark.

And, of course, great music playing on the radio, and quality, family-friendly TV shows. Those were the days.
