Technology has come a loooooooooong way from when I was a kid. Hell I remember when a simple See and Say kept me busy for hours. "The Cow says Moooooooooooooooooooooo" How did that thing work? It just facinated me that something so small had so many sounds in it and where the hell did that voice come from? Hell I'm thinking now who would record their voice for something like that and did they get any royalties for all those machines they made and distrubted? But I digress....
Now a days they have leapfrog pads for kids and hand held computers.
Telephones...used to have cords and most people had what we called party lines. That is when you shared a phone line with others in your neighborhood to cut down on cost. And if you were real quiet you could listen to the local gossip by bitty ol ladies who had nothing better to do but talk about other peoples lifes. And when people called you and asked "Where are you!" You could officially give them their dumb ass sign because they called you at fucking home! Where else would you be! Pay phones where only a dime to make a call....as a kid I would answer the phone "Edsall's (my maiden name) eager eye...summer here summer gone...your dime, my time...spit it out!" I could not make a stupid greeting like that now a days with "quarter" in it...nothing rhymes with it.
Now a days everybody has their own number with their own cell phone numbers. When someone calls you, you immediately know who it is before you answer, can command with your voice who to call without dialing a number and when someone on the other end asks "Where are you?" it is legitimate.
We always had pets when I was growing up. Cats mostly...the dreaded cleaning the litter box. Emptying all that clay into the trash with a *poof* of clay dust and stench rising like a nuclear mushroom cloud stinging your nostrils and making your eyes water! Then they make a wonderful invention of scoopable cat litter and the infamous poop scoop!
Now a days we have a wonderful invention of the Litter Maid where the cat goes and 10 min later after the waste solidifies the scoop automatically scoops it into a recieving container. Man I love that thing!
