I also remember on Saturdays you had to get up early to watch cartoons because they only came on once a week. So we watched the super friends, Captain caveman, Thundar the barbarian,Scooby Doo… And then when it was over, you had to wait another week. BTW I hated Captain kangaroo.

I don't think anyone loves the internet as much as gen Xers. After dealing with card catalogs and encyclopedias, Google is like magic!

Walking a mile to go to the library to do a research paper. You had to know how to look up the book in the card catalog and then hunt for it on the shelf. If it was a reference book you couldn’t take it out and you had to pay 10 cents a page to xerox the pages you needed. Truly the good old days. How I wish we could go back.

As you are recording the song from the top 40 you hope and pray the DJ doesn’t come on and talk over the song. The original mixed tapes.
