No remote controls for the TV...Transistor radios...World series games played on weekday afternoons...Five and Dimes...Damn I'm old!!
When I was a kid, I was teh remote for the TV. :-)
Same here! "Put it on 3. Now, tune it in..."
Gas stations had attendants who pumped your gas.
Pay-per-view... what?
The local pharmacy still had a soda fountain where you could buy a malted shake
Your Mom sent you to the corner store with $2 for a loaf of bread, you bought a Pepsi and a Snickers bar with the remainder and still had change in your pocket
Ed Sullivan introducing the Beatles. July nights when every window in the house was open, every fan (metal blades with a protector cage you could fit your fist through) oscillating the warm air around and you hoped for a storm to cool the air. Oh, and in the evening every kid in town was OUTSIDE playing.

When I grew up Pluto was still a planet and trampolines didn't have safety nets, hell nothing had a safety net and helmets and pads were optional. You could walk to and from school without an escort for unnecessary fear of being kidnapped. I think I was the last generation of kids to play outside more than inside. If you weren't home your parents just walked around the block and found you at one of the neighbor's houses. Ok, I'm not really all that old.
