In my day you didn't have...

computers, all you had was a slate and a piece of chalk. And if you didn't use it twice a day, you got beat.

My dad used to come out with similar things all the time. Post things that piss you off that you had to learn.

In my day (or at least my school) we didnt have a computer class. We had computers, but not as a subject. Spellcheck is a blessing, these dyslexic whippersnappers don't know they're born!

Whippersnappers indeed!

[Seriously, the graphics of the PS3 are too sharp for my head, and the MS Office version for Vista is a *iconic* pain in the ass.]

Yep, even i can remember getting taught maths using an abbacus and it still went through my little skull. Dam (possibly) dyslexic whippersnapper me.
As for things we used to have...
Hymns in assembly. Thank god they are gone now (excuse the pun)

Well I remember the early internet, there were only two websites and they were in black & white, you could only watch them for three hours a day. We had to make our own internet back then out of telex machines and toilet paper.

Computer games were great back then, all we had was a slide rule, some dice and paper.

(tongue-in-cheek)

Texas Instruments computers. Yep, I'm old. Some fun video games on that one.

I looked up what a Texas Instrument is apparently the first home computer with a 16 Bit processor lol

CGI in films pisses me off it's cool and everything but it's overused, it's lazy film making in my opinion. Give me Jim Hensons amazing puppeteering any day. And in Kung Fu films it's pretty much all CGI with Bruce Lee you knew all he ever used was a spring board occasionally.

"In my day..."

BBS's (Bulletin Board Services) were where it was at. :-)

I also had to learn maths on an abacus.

The first time I ever went on the internet was when I was 18. I got my first cellphone when I was 20. I still remember the first text message I ever send, thinking WOW!!!

I remember the little chalkboards too.

I remember life without a computer. The fist computer I was ever on, you still had to boot up from a floppy disk, and the screen was black and orange. The first computer game I ever played was Space Invaders.

We had a telephone which you had to dial. We were really impressed when we got one with buttons.

Gas was only $1.86 a gallon.

No computers, cellphones, DVDs, VCRs, cable, video games, or bicycle helmets. Did have radio, color TV and party lines. Payphones were rotary. Typewriters were electric. Cars were boxy. In the summer, there were drive-in theaters.
