There were also 45 players back in the 60s. I only saw one.

I shot one kid in the nuts one summer day. I knocked on his back door and ran under his porch, looking up through the gaps in the planks. His mom came out and looked around and didn't see anything. She went back in. I waited a few minutes and knocked on the door again. Micheal came out this his BB gun. He's looking around, but not down. I'm looking up at him. I'm laying on my back with the end of the BB gun rifle in between the gaps. He took about 2 steps and everything lined up. I squeezed the trigger and he fell to his knees, screaming. Direct hit to his nuts. Right up the cut-off shorts he was wearing. I never moved. He had no idea where the shot came from. His mom came out wondering what was going on. I laid under that porch until it got dark. It was about 5 years before he found out who shot him. It was one of the greatest moments in our BB gun battles.

AM to AM-FM was the most awesome jump for me. As a teen I was amazed at how you no longer lost the music on the radio going under overpasses or through tunnels and how there was no longer static when you drove beneath power lines. Waiting for "good" FM stations to come to my area was agonizingly slow.

All the "good" AM stations in my area either signed off around sundown or their reception weakened miserably. Having to depend upon good weather to get WLS in Chicago at night usually turned out well enough though.

Somehow I missed 4-tracks, but I went through the rest of the progression.

My mother's brother had an old VW Bug and in between the front seats under the dash he had an actual record player for 45's ( bet some of you don't know)...and had some type of shock absorption that it played very well without skips. How about AC's as an option in all cars..

Me and my brother helped my dad restore a 72 VW Superbeetle Champange edition (it was either a 72 or 76.. we restored a few VWs and my memory sucks). It was the first VW with AC. Never did get the AC running, but she was GORGEOUS after the restoration. One of a kind. Wish we kept it.

All my dad would drive for a work car was Beetles starting in '66. The last one was a '74 gold SunBug Super Beetle. I learn to drive a stick in a Beetle.

I learned to drive a stick in my dads Datsun B210. He had a manual, and my mom had an automatic that they bought at the same time.

But VW;s were so forgiving. I was driving my dads VW bus by the time I got my drivers license.

Yes, now without the Internet and phone, there is no life. All young people are either on the Internet or on the phone playing games. And how many different accessories for phones and ipad. So the son recently ordered a new apple leather ipad mini case.
