Things I don't miss about the world of old technology

• Having to wait for a dial-up connection signal negotiation to complete before I could use my 14.4kb/s internet connection.
• Monitors that weighed a ton.
• Never knowing what the weather should be like for tomorrow until 6pm (nightly news).
• Needing $2000 to buy a decent computer.
• Long distance charges.
• Only being able to store 1.44MB of files on a floppy disk. Or if we go back farther, 360kB of files.
• Having to rewind the VCR tape.
• Driving around aimlessly trying to find the nearest bank machine, or specific brand of gas station.
• Configuring autoexec.bat and config.sys to tweak the memory and device drivers on a computer.
• The only way to watch a movie was in a theatre. Fully dressed.
• Having to keep a disc in the computer to play a game or run a program.
• Always wondering what the name of that song was.
• Needing a real camera to take a picture of anything.
• Yellow pages searches.
• Having to wait hours, maybe days to find out where someone was, if they weren't home.
• Not knowing how the picture turned out until you got your prints back.
• Needing to remember math.
• Having to constantly wind a watch. Yeah, I know - "What's a watch?"
• Trying to race home to catch a TV show. Or if we go back farther, a radio show.
• Having to scrub the oven.
• Being forced to sell stuff in the classifieds. For a fee!
• Needing to go to a store to buy something.
• Hoping your telephone handset cord was long enough to reach the next room so you could talk in private.
• Faxes. Oh wait, they're still around. But why?
