I recently took a trip down memory lane when CNN posted an article about the top 20 gadgets of the 1980s. In an oddly sentimental way, I remember and used nearly all of them. (and to some extent, still do. My NES is connected and – though it freezes – is ready for DuckHunt or Marble Madness any night of the week.)
I started thinking back to my early introduction to technology: math games like Number Munchers that ran from DOS. I was amazing at this game. It wasn’t that long ago…
There was a time when I didn’t have a cell phone, which is mind-blowing. It’s like hearing the sound of a typewriter. I used to tape a show instead of DVR it. (My sister and I had a tape labeled, “Must See TV – Thursday”.)
Here’s the article – hopefully it sparks some memories for you:
