What item did you use as a kid, but today's kid would go what is that?

[HappyDogToday]

Remember when TV's were a piece of furniture in the living room?

How about when you stayed in motels and they had those coin boxes for "magic fingers" next to the bed?

Pocket sized transistor radios?

Brownie, Instamatic, and Polaroid cameras?

Tinker Toys, jack rocks, Etch-a-Sketch?

Chia pets, Pet Rocks?

Trolls with clothes?

Fountain pens that used a bottle of ink?

Cursive writing?

Answering machines?

Things vary.


I remember when my step nephew wanted to look at my GPS and was totally lost when I got out my Garmin. I think his experience had only been with those in cars which told you where to go while I used mine where I was the navigator for cross country.


I suspect that my Canon Rebel DSLR or stove top perk pot might be seen the same way. Something in current use but just not used by most.....and then, there is that landline. To say nothing about actual physical books. Or diaries (not blogs, but diaries).



Rather sounds like Star Trek, doesn't it?


[one of the doctors in sickbay has problems repairing a broken bone with a knitter]
Doctor Pulaski: Try a splint.
Doctor: Doctor?
Doctor Pulaski: Splint - it's a very ancient concept. You take two flat pieces of wood or plastic, a bandage. The broken limb is kept immobile.
Doctor: That's crazy, that's not practicing medicine.
Doctor Pulaski: Oh, yes, it is. It's a time-honored way to practice medicine, with your head and your heart and your hands, so - jump to it.
