    I had to google what that was. I can just imagine the kids huddled around the big old radio.

    The good days, now days kids stare at their smart phones.

    Yeah ... some of us are old enough to have huddled around the radio ..and remember Godzone before we got TV ...

    I also remember when we got our first telephone - and our number at home only had four digits ... getting a telephone in the house was a big deal. My father cut a hole in the wall and built a small alcove for it ...

    Now you kids wander around looking at the internet with hand-held devices ...

    Fuck progress, lets go back to caves! I know my life would be a lot less stressful if all I had to worry about was a T-Rex biting off my head

    No motorcycle for fun though if you did that... not even an old Norton or Werner Brothers

    I can actually remember when high tech was being able to tie your shoelaces - today is the good old days we have never had it better believe it or not!

    Oh I dunno - I'd be pretty stressed if a T-Rex was trying to bite my head off ..
