I show my age when I rattle off what cartoons I watched (Transformers, GI Joe, Star Blazers, Voltron, etc.) and what the first video games I played were (Yars Revenge, Asteroids, Space invaders, etc. on the Atari 2600, Pong)

I was one of the TV remotes it depended on what kid was the one that didn't want to get punished . Back in those days we got it when dad took off the belt we knew it, and the pain started in our head beforehand . And also the schools Principal had a wooden paddle and he spanked us for what ever he decided we needed it for. I for one was a daydreamer , and when I floated off while I was supposed to be paying attention to the teacher and I couldn't tell her what she said?? I had to go to the principal and got another ass busting ...

How about these two. My first cell phone back in 1999. And if you lived in a poor household like me you might remember paper food stamps. Back before the current EBT cards. Man time flies.

My first cell phone was a BAG phone it was about 10 pounds, from Radio Shack we had to pay $125 for it then we paid about $100 a month for 20 mins and 95 cents a min after and I was just glad to have a cell phone because my boss wouldn't pay for one and I did a lot of traveling for work .. the phone looked and was as much as my ( shower strap)  oxygen portable, I use now.

Don't they still have these? If so it's much safer than a credit card, when you get robbed on vacation .

Pfft; big deal. MY first cell phone was the one the fuzz brought to me so I could call a lawyer from jail back in '63

And penny candy, I remember walking down the street a block away to a little ma pa store it was a house made into a store/ home. Anyhow I was maybe 4-5 yrs old my sisters and brother would go by ourselves and we got a dime or a quarter , and came home with a little brown paper sack full of all kind of candy....When it was safe to walk to the Store .
