I have some more...

... TVs didn't have remotes
... Cable wasn't offered in your area
... TVs could tune channels 2-13, and maybe you could pull in a UHF station or two if you had a good antenna
... Black and white TVs (!)
... A 300-baud modem was fast
... You wanted to buy a home computer, and your choices were IBM or Apple ... or, there was no such thing as a home computer
... You picked up a pay phone to make a collect call, and a human operator handled the call
... Pay phone calls cost a dime
... You called any business (utility, etc) and a human being instead of an IVR system answered the phone
... Phone numbers started with two letters: HUnter 6-1234
... Having to make sure you were putting UNleaded gas in your car
