Im curious how many others on here actualy remember when majority of people didnt have the internet? Or hell even a computer for that matter? no cordless phones no xbox or playstation. Cable had a max of like 30 channels and thats with hbo.

Or didnt have cable and got like 3 or 4 channels on your tv. And dads remote was hey son change the channel. lol so you got up turned the tune dial and adjusted the antanea untill it came in..

I remember those days. and even with all the techno advances we have made theres lots of times i have to wonder if it isnt a bad thing.

I am 42 so I remember not even having a remote for the TV - SHOCKING! I DO Remember the 70's so I am not as old as some (again old joke... just in case someone needs to google it)

Holy crap, I never thought I'd ever say this, but this thread is actually making me (almost) nostalgic for my old TRS-80!

Not to mention, of course, the Intellivision. The back-then Macintosh of its genre, if you would.

covington, babe he's another example of what happens when a person totally relies on the internet for everything, no common sense, nor power of deduction lmao, i agree, let him stew and rant

I try to see the good in everyone... then I remember school is out... (sarcasm)

I would be happy to have Coke-a-cola back... the REAL one before they tampered with it.

Yeah......but those weren't advancements from the past 2-5 years.
Those kind of advancements are definitely good. It's the ones where the brand new top equipment you bought 1 year, or even just 6-10 months, ago are now obsolete that are the worst.
Consoles don't suffer as much as PCs but it does mean they get more and more expensive.

You know I was trying to figure out how to set up a treadmill to use when playing LOTRO, thought I would walk when I or the horse would have to - but never could get a setup right. I WISH they made games like that, I had hopes for the wii and then Xbox and PS3 but they all are still clunky.
