In order to heat our 4 bedroom appartment in the winter, we had to go down 3 flights of stairs to the basement and fill a bucket with coal which went into the big oven in the middle of the appartment.....

Air Condition is still non existent in any house where I come from.....

Who remembers cable remote control boxes that were wired to the TV with about a 20' cord?

You mean the ones with the sliding channel changer? Those were the days when tossing the remote was an adventure.

tube television sets that took 10 minutes to warm up, dimmed the house when you turned them on, heated the house in the winter and actually had repairmen that came to your house to fix them

vinyl records, 45's and 33.3's

1200 baud rate modems

There is no substitute for experience and I would not trade the time paying outside with all the neighborhood kids for any high tech gadget of today.
