Genesis of this poll.


The other day I had to call my internet service provider. Took me Lord knows how long and many frustrated button pushes to get to an actual live person. At the end of it all, I said to myself “Remember back in the day when you called a business and talked to a person and not a computer?"

 

This got me to thinking on how many things are different about our world and I thought it might be fun to do a poll on it.


So, here goes. Complete the following sentence:

 

“Remember back in the day when __________________________."

 

I’ll answer in a separate post.

I will be adding to this list!

Remember when phones were simply for CALLING people and when it was ok to not answer if you were busy?

Remember when we used to found out how our friends and loved ones are by TALKING to them as opposed to simply monitoring their Facebook feed?

Remember when money was cash and when it was gone we stopped spending?

I'm totally aging myself, but I remember when TV's only had 13 channels and you had to get up off your ass and walk over to the TV to switch them!

Remember when the ONLY time you could see cartoons was Saturday morning and you could only see music videos on Friday night?

Yep...I'm old. :)

Remember when the stores were not open on Sundays AT ALL! And it was a big deal to have them open on Sundays.

Remember back in the day when you could buy Christmas decorations at Woolworth and have lunch at the Golden Skillet. LOL

Remember back in the day when you could do a party line with a bunch of friends and everyone could hear what everyone else said.

OMG now they have a triple/double Oreo. Basically same concept as a big Mac. Three cookies, two layers of filling. EVIL!!!
