When you were a kid

A stream was something you found in the woods - not what you did all weekend

A flat screen just kept bugs out of the house.

A cell phone was what you used to make your one phone call from jail.

An air bag was some guy who talked too much.

Digital computing was counting on your fingers.

High-speed access was an on-ramp to the freeway.

Keyless entry was something that only car thieves did.

Surfing was something done on a board in the ocean.

And a birthday was something you actually looked forward to!

Talking into objects was only something the mentally ill did.
Like was an emotion, not a click option.
People who constantly talked about themselves were not influencers they were as*holes.

An air bag has always been the US congress buildings :twisted:

This thread reminds me of the Tim McGraw song, Back When :arrow:
