Really?
Phone books didn't track every business you looked up and sell that info to marketers.
Maybe they didn't help you avoid traffic jams but paper maps didn't track you everywhere you went or disappear when you got out of a service area.
Roller windows didn't fail whenever anything went wrong with any electrical component in the computers-on-wheels we drive now.
I'll take brightness & contrast controls over a spinning blue wheel in the middle of whatever I'm trying to watch, which I used to be able to watch without paying a monthly fee.
When folks had to buy a record to listen to their favorite music whenever they wanted, the music and the artists who made it were valued. Now that it's a custom playlist from tens of thousands of songs for a few dollars/month or individual songs for free or pirating, popular music is just a computer-enhanced (or computer-generated) corporate commodity. And you can hear the difference.
Good for you if you really don't wanna go back. You're probably much happier that way.
I'd go back in a heartbeat and stay.
I was at an army surplus store, and saw something that brought back old memories. An old inner tube. Not one of those plastic vinyl ones, but a real rubber one. It was what we used in the 1960s and 1970s in lakes, to sit in and relax. Sometimes, they would have bunches of patches from hole repairs, that gave those inner tubes character.
You can't fix the new types like that. The patches just won't hold the same way.

Me, too. Although, living where we do, we're pretty insulated. We don't have cell service out here, so no "phones" except the one with the wire coming from the wall.
We use paper maps when we have to find a new place, but we do have to deal with electric windows. I hate them. You push the button once and the window goes all the way down or up. Getting it to stop where you want to is a bitch. I'd give anything for a damn roller crank handle. And if I want music, I buy a CD. We do have satellite TV, because TV reception is spotty here, and I don't want the three network channels, anyway.So other than the TV, I'd happily go back to the 70s and stay there, without a second thought. On the other hand, back then, those three channels had entertaining programs on, so they were just fine. Yup, I'd go back to the 70s even without satellite TV.
Woops that was a misprint it was supposed to say "I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
You're a good guy either way.Woops that was a misprint it was supposed to say "I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
Here' a postscript:
Thank you my friendYou're a good guy either way.
Here' a postscript:
Thank you my friend, this is BS. TV should be free, that's why you haveta watch the commercials, they pay big money to put them on and you also pay by havin to watch them. The greed of these days amazes me how heartless people can beYou're a good guy either way.
Here' a postscript:
I am goin back to woods
Did anyone ever eat this stuff?
I think I did, once. My Nana used to get something that looked like this, and I tried one once, but ugh. Never again. On second thought, maybe it's not the same thing. I think the ones I remember had a powdered sugar coating. Anyway, they were sickly sweet and I wanted to throw up.
Regarding movies, we have hundreds of DVDs. We have a bunch of tapes, too, but the tape player doesn't work anymore, and I don't know if we can find another one. Maybe. But we have all these DVDs because of that exact reason, that I want to be able to watch a movie at any time I want to, no matter what. We probably have 99% of all the movies we'll ever want to watch, anyway. I only seem to like movies from the 80s and 90s, with a few exceptions. The 80s was the best for movies.
My husband has a truch with electric windows. He had to replace the entire mechanism in the drivers side door when the motor went out. It sucked. My truck is 6 years older than his, and has the crank style windows. I don't mind not pushing a button. The older technology just works and doesn't fail.Me, too. Although, living where we do, we're pretty insulated. We don't have cell service out here, so no "phones" except the one with the wire coming from the wall.

AND, if you ever end up in a lake, you can get out. Not that I've ever driven into a lake, but that's what I heard.
Summer season is upon us, and that reminds me of the camping trips I used to be taken on when I was little. There was always one little thing that was never to be forgotten. That little can of Bactine. For all the little cuts and scrapes us little children were bound to get in the woods.

And I was the remote control...
These old TV controls are amazin, how did they ever get them to last
May I suggest E All Of The Above!
I would imagine from all the GMO type pesticides, new ones kill the eggs to they say
That's my guess
Or it to have something to do with global weather changes
I might be more that you find them in the same areas you find swarms of mosquitoes. Where they spray to kill mosquitoes, fireflies may just be in the crossfire.
