I was born in the 80s so not that far back...

I remember gathering with other kids at the playground after school and playing without more than the cursory "what's your name".

I remember standing at public payphones keying in alphanumeric messages to pagers.

I remember being on my best behaviour as we check books out of the library because the librarians were fierce.

I remember my mother buying us lollipops on the way back from kindergarten.

I remember non-digital cameras so every photo is taken carefully.

I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings for the cartoons.

I remember going to computer lessons when I was 10, learning typing and Microsoft Office programs.

I remember using MS Dos on my aunt's computer and playing solitaire. I remember my first computer - a Windows 3.0.

I remember dial-up and exceeding the number of hours allocated.

I remember Altavista chats.

I remember when I got my first handphone.
