1. Fun? Lol

2. Learning on a 10 key machine in high school. Also stenography in business class in the mid ,80s. Typing class in high school on an electric typewriter. And ::gasp:: manual cash registers with the keys that stuck out.

3. Love your videos! Thanks for doing these!

4. I remember when CBs only had 24 channels.

5. I think of the items you mentioned, records are making a comeback and these should: cassettes, menstrual pad belt, typewriters, and ashtray/lighters in cars. Those were inventions that served people well and made the world a happier place.

6. Those little games with the tiny floaty rings in the water. You’d press that little wheezy button at the base and it would squeeze water up to make the little rings float up. The goal was to get the rings in these little pegs. It was like a cross between an ant farm, aquarium, and fairground game, lol

7. I know landlines still exist. Is it even possible to use an old rotary phone anymore? Anyone know?

8. Interesting and yeah people wouldn't know this now😊

9. I'm still an avid shooter of my 35mm Pentax camera. Thankfully, 35mm film doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon.

10. i used to work at blockbuster video. We got ELF for free on dvd as a holiday bonus. this was when blockbuster was fighting netflix.. in order to get/keep hours we had to meet a quota for one of the 15 different promos we were running… and had to go through each and every promo during rentals… it was annoying.

11. I don't even know what w sanitary belt is but dey looks like s female version bof the jock strap funny word alsi gross 🤢.but as kids playing certain sports its a necessity

12. Ok i going to say something u didn't mention and i know why but the oager was also know for people who delivered small to medium size assortment of packsges for money 💲💲💲🖌️😎

13. Oh and the Film Strip at school! And being the one that wanted to run the projector! When it would make noise! Telling you to change! To the next screen! And I still have an ashtray in my Truck with a lighter! And I'm happy about it! And some of these kids today don't realize! That cars didn't necessarily! Even have air conditioner! Or FM Radio, either! Back in the 80s pick-up trucks! Or at least some! Didn't even have a rear bumper! At the car lot! You had to buy it extra!

14. I remember using can openers like that to open oil! As well as the spout you punched! Through the can! So it supposedly didn't make a mess! And I remember making my own mix tapes with cassette! I would also call! A local DJ to play a song as a request! And would wait all day and they never would lol! But it was fun none the less!

15. An old rotary type phones gave you some time to think before you made those angry and / or late night calls! You're doing good work!

16. Those car ash trays made perfect garbage cans for all of our candy wrappers!

17. I wonder how many kids would recognize a mimeograph machine.

18. Ahh yes the snake game

19. I feel old.

20. My university library didn't use dewey decimal, but the library of congress catalogue system, which meant learning an entirely different cataloguing method.

21. I had a friend who's daughter asked how do you send a text message on a rotary dial phone. She was 12 at the time. She 23 now. Lol
    She was also horrified when she tried to plug in an MP3 player in on 2000 chevy truck and I told her it had not been in vented yet went my truck was built in 2000 the same year she was born. Lmao

22. 3:00 I know I didn't store paper clips or toothpicks in these containers 😅😂 but rather some good old herb 😉 😉 🌳 I absolutely love your videos and going back in time if only for a few moments watching these….I cannot get enough. ❤ 👍 💯 😊

23. Good tapes in a good player could actually deliver a much greater sound than any modern digitally compressed crap. Put some Maxwell CrO2 in a Nakamichi k7 player with dolby encoder/decoder and THAT was something none of nowadays youngsters ever experienced. All in all, almost everything turned from amazing good quality to a heap of junk in a matter of two decades.

24. I was born in 1968, and there are still a lot of everyday things I prefer to do the way they were done in the 20th century. I have a Smartphone, but for the most part, I'm just not into the ways of the 21st century. I'm just not! Watching this video, and several other videos on this channel is fun, because they take me back to better days. But it's also bittersweet, because those days are gone forever. When I realize that many of the things that those of us from the older generation grew up with are things that the younger generation never heard of, it makes me feel old! I guess that's true of all generations.

25. I seem to remember playing snake on a Xerox 820 pc, which used those giant 8" floppy disks (which actually WERE floppy!)

26. Consuls are still popular, but kids today have no idea what we had to do to get those damn things working lol. You had to hook it up to your TV using this cable that had a little switch box thing on it, which to be honest I actually forget what exactly that did now. Then you had to turn your channel to either channel 3 or channel 4 depending on your set up, turn everything on and hope it all worked. Then, once you were playing your game, you could be invested hours into it only to have the game cartridge malfunction and freeze up on you out of nowhere. Take it out, blow out the dust, put it back in and start all over again

27. I was a kid of the 80s and it’s true that people pretty much smoked everywhere back then, and this continued into the early 90s. I hear it was even crazier in the 70s

28. All during the 60s and 70s the tobacco companies lied to the people saying smoking was healthy. In the 80s the tobacco companies paid huge law suit losses for the lies, but most who lost love ones to lung cancer didn't get a cent of the money.

29. A fountain pen
