1) I remember when you could go in a store, and the clerk actually cared if you were happy with what the store had to offer you.  Compare that with the attitude exhibited by store clerks too often  in most stores now (even in this Recession), which could be summed up as, “No, we don’t have that item, and we really don’t care if we ever have that item.  You gotta problem with that?”

2) I remember a time, when I was in college, when young women actually had a voice in relationships with men.  So, for instance, a woman who was uncomfortable with the pace of things, might say so, right out loud, instead of feeling tremendous pressure to comply with a guy’s wishes, just to keep the guy!  In fact, I remember a time when women were actually asked out on dates to movies or  to dinner, instead of being invited to “hook up.”  (I’m ranting on this subject because I have two teenage daughters.)

3) I remember when kids had to look up topics in libraries and actual books for their school assignments, instead of hitting Wikipedia!  They actually had to go to the library and search the stacks, move their little arms and legs.  Now, they stay at home and push buttons.

Clearly I am over 50!  That’s it for now.  I’m sure other things will come up tomorrow!
