I remember interstate phone calls costing $.38/minute. I never complain about the cost of cellphone calls.
And I remember when MTV played music. (It was a shock finding out why they stopped... apparently, the Nielsen ratings were unable to get numbers for 3 minute videos so they couldn't figure out where to put the marketing dollars. Once they switched to half-hour shows, they could gather stats usable to convince advertisers to spend money.)
And I remember typing papers on an Adam tape-drive word processor. Shudder.
