I work in a school and these kids don't know the first thing about a dewey-decimal system or card catalog. EVERYTHING'S on computer!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the musty-a** library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog and the friggin' duey-decimal system! And if you couldn’t find it you had to deal with the crusty attitude of that old a** librarian lady, who was like 68 years old and had that chain holdin' her glasses down like dem joints was going to fly off, yeah, that lady who felt like she was doing you a favor by being there.
I wrote plenty of letters to my first boyfriend who lived only 30 minutes away.........and it was "long distance" to call him 
.
There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter ... with a pen! and a stamp! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
Yep, remember that!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
Remember when somebody's line was busy you would call like 50 times in a row just to see if you could (magically) get through this time.
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances!
Oh, we had movie theaters back then?
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, well that was just too dayum bad!
Man, I hated waking up in to that screen with the red, blue, yellow, and green lines.....and that dayum buzzing sound is what woke you in the first place.
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off you’re a** and walk over to the TV to change the channel. And don’t let your a** have insomnia, cause at 1 a.m. guess what --> TV went OFF! You got the Star Spangled Banner then America took its a** to bed!
Tis true
And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastids!
Not 30 yet, but....
