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

I remember dial-up internet, where the phone and internet were on the same line, and if someone in your house wanted to use the phone you had to stop using the internet for a bit 😁.

Way back, years ago, rural phone lines where sometimes called “party lines”. Three or four houses would have to share a single phone number. You could listen into other people’s conversations! I’m old enough to remember those!

@Lumberjack70 Oh yeah, my parents told me about those 😁.

@Lumberjack70 sometimes if you were young enough, you might have forgotten to cover the mouthpiece. This was bound to end badly! Lol
Not that I would know.😇
