I'm so old I Remember when:

[R2elk]

I remember when many families had wood burning stoves as space heaters to heat their houses.

That is the current situation.

I remember the house of one set of grandparents had no electricity and an outhouse. No indoor plumbing at all. Drinking water was a bucket on the back porch with a gourd dipper. There were no electric lines and no telephone lines. Light at night was from kerosene lanterns.

• Phone booths - and calls were a dime.
• Photo mat booths - and it took weeks to get your photos back.
• Black and white TV with 8 channels and rabbit ear antennas.
• Movie theaters that always played double-features.
• Winter boots that were "slickers" - you put your foot in, shoes and all. Mom slipped an old bread bag over your shoe so you could get your foot in.
• The Pledge of Allegence, every morning, in school
• Manual typewriters, taking note hand, being graded on cursive penmanship

Who knows what this is?

But actually, I remember my grandpa having a big camcorder on his wrist recording stuff. And my first computer was about 16 inches in all directions.
