64. Answering machines.

Who here remembers those old commercials promoting catchy messages? Nobody's Home...Nobody's Home (to the tune of Beethoven's Fifth)...Just wait for the beep!

86. Finding books in a card catalog at the library.

This was a big deal in elementary school, learning how to use the card catalog. And what about actually using the physical copy of the Encyclopedia Brittanica to get information?

-I thought I was so cool showing up for college in '91 with my own fancy typewriter. Not everyone had one and people would frequently borrow mine. I mean really, what a joke now, LOL.

-Oh man I totally forgot about those commercials, good call!

-I wonder if they still teach the dewey decimal system in school, what a dinosaur that is now.
