Agree with all the above....
We didn't have to buy water either...tap water was fine,as far as we knew.
And if you were heading out Friday night and didn't cash your pay-check,you were fucked.There were no ATMs...
Of course on the flip side...didn't have to worry about condoms,worse that could happen you would get clap.If a woman was on the pill...you were set.
THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video
Games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
Like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You
Actually had to use your Imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or
Screens, it was just one screen
Forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting
Harder and harder and
Faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
You wanted to
Steal music, you had to hitchhike to the darn record store and shoplift it yourself!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID 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, mister!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting
Harder and harder and
Faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
i was just talking bout this shit with my mom yesterday
talking bout the internet, when if you ain't have cable the tv would turn off on yo ass it would be nothing but snow on that motherfucka
if you had cable, you had that big ass box remote with the wire attached to the cable box
They was talking bout the tv guide magazine... I remember the one on the tv that just kept rotating, an if you missed you channel you just have to sit there until it went through all the channels an shit
the article didn't even mention you had to take a class to learn how to put film in a fucking CAMERAI done messed up a whole lot of rolls
It didn't mention penny candy stores
or crayon boxes that only had 8 colors
I could go on forever an I'm a '82 baby
hell I'm in between your time and "my" time.
I know everyone remembers blowing in that damn Nintendo game to make it work!!!
I'm 24, and yes I agree with the youth having it good today. I try and take in as much advice from the older heads as I can, and while yes, you've stated the obvious in the youth being spoiled, you've given no advice.
Give someone some sound advice on how to further better ourselves and what to look out for in the future.
The one i've gotten the most is, stay away from pussy at the moment. Females are dominating in a 20-26 yr olds life, when we should be concentrating on how to get money. Once the money rolls in, then pussy falls down for you.
Anything you'd like to add?

I'm only 28 but I remember that shit, usin the Commodore made me feel like a hacker.
Good find...This series of AT&T ads came out in 1993, but I thought back then it was all marketing hype and would never happen.
Guess I was wrong about that:
Got me by 3 days brother. 10/13/78 for me
What you mofo's no about
1. Foil Christmas tree with rotating color wheel
2. Being able to ride a wheelie on a Huffy bike for a city block
3. Selling your mom's S&H green stamp books for cash
4. Being able to buy Salem Longs for your parents at the age of 8
5. Curb feelers on your Grand Prix, Monte Carlo or Cutlass
6. Crager Mags were the only rims you could buy
7. Chuck Taylor Converse were todays Jordan's ($20 a pair)
8. Hooking up a power booster to your 8-track player in the ride
9. Parents putting you in trunk of car to get in drive in free
10. Window Pane jeans.
