I'm so old I Remember when:

[Canadian Wind]

Our TV had 3!

We had a very early model remote controlled TV. My dad loved getting all kinds of new technology. The remote was ultrasound. I learned to pitch my voice so high that I could change the channels that way!

Good to have an extra.

We all know you can never find the "clicker" especially on the week ends.

I remember when my bedtime was 8pm and that was strictly enforced because there was some show that came on at 8pm that my parents wanted to watch.
I distinctly remember being woken up by my Dad looking rather sheepish because the TV had stopped working and I was the only one who knew how to manipulate the set-top aerial 'just so'.
Bedtime was a bit of a farce after that event!

I can remember when the complaints were about kids spending too much time in front of the television. Then computers came along.

I can remember when the complaints were about kids spending too much time in front of the television. Then computers came a long.

And XBox, and Playstation...

I remember when kids could by a pair of new sneakers and not get mugged or even killed for them.

I loved horses as a kid, so I made my mom buy Pony sneakers. Plus Jordache jeans. I didn't even LIKE jeans, but I liked the horse head logo!

I can remember when the complaints were about kids spending too much time in front of the television. Then computers came along.

And now it’s virtual reality goggles and cellphones!

Note: virtual reality goggles are a fun novelty, but I can’t see myself investing in them.
