HA! Loved it! I do some of that with my kids. We talk about TV-we had the 3 stations growing up and they all shut down around 12. It was HELL having to babysit with nothing to watch. (I couldn't let myself fall asleep.)
Back on the farm (yee-haw) our phone didn't even have a DIAL!
Girls would hibernate in their dorms, waiting for THAT phone call which NEVER came. When it did ring, it was the jerk you tried avoding all week.
The guys-those poor, poor dears, had to settle for National Geographic or, like you said get some guy to buy it for them.
On movies-
I clearly remember when Romeo and Juliet came out, all the guys RUSHED to the theater to see Olivia Hussey's boobs.
...and all the parents thought the boys had been inspired by Shakespear!
